My idea was that a lot of the main content text will be removed / replaced / reworded (or a combination of all three). My idea is that the PR and News will come further to the top after doing this. Perhaps I should have left this for later; it seems a lot of people have gotten the wrong idea with this. I also want to give ``news shorts.'' That is, provide a short (first 30 word) summary of the news.
