Well, so... how about creating a simple script to add news to all languages?
That is, you run the script "addnews.sh" and type your new news there. Then,
it adds the new text to every Changes file of each language. Doing this, the
translator then fetchs the new file from the cvs, translates the new news and
commits it. (If it doesn't translate some news, they will also appere, in
english).

So, (a) is solved, because each lang will have an uptodate changes page,
and (b), already answered ;)
