I am a bit reluctant to add random SO pages to this section. I think we have used it to suggest real articles and I would prefer to keep it that way. Maybe we could add another section with links from SO or other Q & A sites, but until we decide to do that and find people interested to regularly contribute to it, I would prefer not to add such links.

Usually Jakub Narebski (in Cc) and a few other persons contributes to the Other News sections ("Various", "Light Reading" and "Git tools and sites") sometimes just before publication time, and I might contribute a little to them too this evening or tomorrow. So it's not a big deal if there is not much in these sections at this time.

Thanks, Christian.
