You are moving most of the news from the frontpage.. The problem with the 'via' attribute is that it literally points to the conference pages rather then our news entry. So when you click "read more" you get sent to a page that doesn't even contain that news item. On the other hand, the conference/cfp entries should eventually be aggregated fron joind.in so I suppose that doesn't really matter in the meanwhile. -Hannes
