Embedding your news feed would be just as easy:

http://news.open-bio.org/news/category/obf-projects/bioperl/feed/rdf
http://news.open-bio.org/news/category/obf-projects/bioperl/feed/rss
http://news.open-bio.org/news/category/obf-projects/bioperl/feed/rss2
http://news.open-bio.org/news/category/obf-projects/bioperl/feed/atom

Which (news server vs twitter feed) is preferable is down to you guys,
although for 2009 at least there has been more activity on twitter.
I'm not sure if you have the news posts re-tweeted or not (the last
news server post was back in Feb), but Biopython and the OBF
twitter accounts are doing this via twitterfeed.
