I agree.

For the news, how about just listing them by the date and title - this
should give you enough information for a quick glance. The title then
links to the extended announcement.

As an alternative, there could be an expander to get the mini summary.

And an RSS feed would be very nice :).

Something like:

  News
  ------------------
  November 7, 2008:
  [+] Wine 1.1.8 Released

  October 24, 2008:
  [-] Wine 1.1.7 Released

    The Wine development release 1.1.7 is now available.
    ...

  [rss]

Also, +1 for CSS roll over and menus (there are plenty of examples and
tutorials on the net), and it should be possible - with carefully
crafted HTML+CSS to support older/broken browsers if needed.
