That sounds good (particularly the per-user dismiss).

I invented TipNews to spread the word quickly. I realise it's
rather in-your-face. Sorry, but I felt it was (and is) important
to gather as many people as possible. I'm anticipating that a
lot of the old mailing list crowd will have lost the habit after
all this time (particularly since there was such an absence of
news on vim.org).

If someone can arrange the Sitenotice, that would be good.
Otherwise, please try to put up with TipNews for another couple
of weeks. I guess we could remove it from Main_Page now, if that
would help.
