Description

On the front page https://lucene.apache.org we today show a list of TLP news.

For every release we author one news article for Solr, one news article for LuceneCore, and one news article for TLP site, combining the two.

In all these years we have never published a news item to TLP that is not a release announcement, except in 2014 when we announced that OpenRelevance sub project closed.

I thus propose to remove this news section, and replace it with two widgets that automatically display the last 5 news headings from LuceneCore, Solr and PyLucene sub projects.

If we have an important TLP announcement to make at some point, that can be done right there on the front page, not?
