I concur with this summary of how the press releases should be handled. I understand the vendors plight as well and would like for them to have separate space. But on a number of websites, the real news gets lost in the "We signed a contract" type stuff which is irrelevant to all but those seeking a vendor and the vendors.
Personally, I think it should be irrelevant to those seeking a vendor too. If a vendor needs to should that loudly about what contracts they're signing, rather than reporting afterwards in journal articles and so on, then something seems a bit wrong to me. "X signed Y" is not clear news - it might just mean X's sales/negotiators are good. So, my view: let's try to make sure all company press release feeds are on the koha blogs / Yahoo pipe feed and just link all that in a side bar on the koha-community.org site.
