That was the reason why i initially raised that question. www.ko has a dot 
feed integrated, same for the dot itself, naturally. Announcements are done on 
both, dot and www.ko. But www.ko announcements are not served via a feed. The 
text is basically the same on both sources.So finding out which one is the 
latest version is not the question, as they are the same anyway.

So, is it really necessary to have announcements on both sources?
As Valorie has said, we can easily set up a feed fetcher on www.ko to fetch 
the dot feed and display it on the mainsite, if it is needed. But as it is 
now, it seems to me like some unnecessary steps too much.

Note: this is no complaint, this is only a curious question if some people 
simply invest too much work into something that _maybe_ can be done unified on 
a single platform ;)
