An external client for the News Module

I was thinking that something I would really find handy would be a gtk or (even better) a command line application that
could add news articles.

something like:  cmsms_news_add -f ~/my_config_file -category "a category" -title "The Title" -summary "The Summary" -description "the description of whatever news item I want to add"
and it would

this would allow me to add news items automatically based on some system event happening.  I know it's a low priority item, but it would make adding news items less cumbersome if there are lots of them to be added on a regular basis.

Well, to be honest, I've been thinking about this.  However, since News is so close to a blogging application, I think it would be easier to implement the blogger API and do a web service post thing.  Then you could use something like w.bloggar to post to it, just as you would a regular blog.
