Usage

sdotNews provides a folderish type sdot News Folder. Newsfolder have an Id (part of the URL), a Title (the name, thats what you see in your navigation), a description and an Icon (this visualizes the categories). In this Folder you can add news (and optional PloneArticles). Note that the News you add in a sdot News Folder also show up in the "normal News".

News Folders generate RSS2 Newsfeeds.

Why a folderish type?

Making the categories folderish has some advantages. You can finetune the permissions (reviewer, manager, etc) on a per folder basis, i.e. you may have reviewers for certain categories (via local roles for users or groups), you may browse the categories with the Plone navigation, there is no need for a special sdotNewsItem type (you may add additonal types to show in the sdot News Folder via ZMI), your users can bookmark the folder of their their interest or subscribe to its RSS feed.
