News Pool

I run a website for an organisation in a certain massive healthcare organisation on a certain rainy (although not today!) isle somewhere in the North Sea, and one of the facilities we have is an automated news facility, kind of like a news pool. Any website in the pool can post a news item and it will be shared between all the others. Would it be possible or desireable to do something similar here? There seem to be plenty of forums springing up, and Druchii.net seems to be something of a market leader. I'm sure there would not be a lack of news if enough people got on board.

Any thoughts?

Actually, that's a very good idea. Portent.net is a sort of unofficial news pool anyway since it's pretty much the centre of rumour in the GW gamers' internet world, but a real one would be a great idea.

I'll pass this idea along to the other admins and maybe the admins from other sites.

Not sure about the mechanics of it, but if you get enough sites contributing to the pool it pretty much runs itself, once it has been put together that is.
