I have been using News Feeds for quite a while now. In my 
experience, the thing just runs and is a major improvement over 
the current tool.

Maintaining the beta wicketstuff-dojo artifact locally has been a 
pet peeve of mine for a while (can't we get this in a repo 
somewhere?) but that really goes straight to the heart of the 
NFS-61.
