That's why the d_programming twitter feed was added to the front page.

In any case, Ddoc can be used to insert the contents of an "announcements" file 
into the front page. The problem, however, is someone has to write those 
announcements on a timely basis. Nobody has shown any interest in doing so, and 
although I've tried to do it on numerous occaisions, I just lose steam rather 
quickly because it bores me to tears.

The twitter feed is as easy as it gets, and I still don't regularly post to it. 
(Andrei also posts to the d_programming feed.)
