[ZWeb] FYI: New spotlight ready for review

[Paul Everitt]

For the most part we already have this with the zope-announce archives. 
  Most of the interesting stuff in Zopeland has a message posted to 
zope-announce.

What's needed is the editorial element.  I don't think people want a 
Zope News that is only a re-listing of announcements, although that's 
probably *part* of what they'd like.
