Include Subproject News Option

[defsdoor]

Hi

I'd find it really useful to have the option to include news articles on a dashboard for the current project and all sub-projects.

I might have a go at doing this myself - would this be a useful feature worth including ?

Cheers

Not sure if this is nice or optimal as I don't know the Redmine code very well and obviously this should be configurable -
