Please ask the team to have this ready for SP1. Thought it was a great feature in 2010.

Travis,

I would really like to see the announcements be a SCSM web part again and ideally I would like to have a link in the left column of the SMportal (under the My Activities link) that would take someone to the announcements page. As an added feature, if the link could somehow change color or be highlighted when there was a new announcement posted, that would help to catch someone's eye.

The biggest problems I have with using the default SharePoint announcements web part is that it takes up a lot of real estate on the screen and it just doesn't look as nice as the rest of the page. Another issue is that it is not easy to support multiple languages with the announcements unless you post them in every language needed. In my case we are a global company with employees who read/speak 10+ languages so having the ability to create the different language versions of the announcement in SCSM and then displaying them on the portal in the users set language would be very cool.
