Maybe it would be better to move some of the old news entries to a
separate page and leave one or two on the main page?  Actually, moving
the description to the top and removing some news entries would be good.

Here is the patch that will move the description to the top.  I will
(or if someone beats me to it) write another one that moves most of
the news items to a new page (leaving 2-3 on the main page).
