Having some kind of aggregator for Scheme news would definitely be great.

News can mean two things: headlines only, or full articles. A headline
would be something like "Fantastic Scheme v1.2.3 released" or
"FantasticCon in Vienna on April 5th". An article could be a blog post
or Reddit post, a forwarded mailing-list announcement, etc.

It would be neat to have a Scheme blog, e.g. blog.scheme.org with
content like <http://www.scheme.dk/planet/>. Perhaps we could convince
the owner of that blog to move or dual-host it under scheme.org.

Several Schemers occasionally publish interesting writeups on their
personal blogs. It would be neat if we could import all the
Scheme-related articles from those blogs (and leave out all the
non-Scheme posts by some rule -- perhaps look for a "scheme" tag).

If we're doing an API at api.scheme.org, the blog/news content could be
aggregated on the API server, and the blog/news subdomains and the front
page could make suitable queries to the API using AJAX.
