How do I create a news and annoucements page similar to http://drupal.org/news? Do I need to create a custom node type using flexinode? Thanks for any tips.

This is actually what drupal does very well.
Using taxonomy create a category called something like news, and then using the path taxonomy/term/x and you can bring up all content in this category.
You can also use the path module change the path to news, in admin > url aliases

Thanks for the quick reply. I was able to get that to work. Is it possible for the taxonomy/category term to be embedded in another drupal page? The site I'm converting currently has a nice little "Press Release" graphic that I'd like to incorporate.

To answer my own question, I found these two code snippets that seem to be relevant:

Just as follow up, the "taxonomy browser" module is useful for associating a taxonomy name to a the term id.
