for Project information there is a "Message of the Day" for

a "Notice Board" where developers can post information of

notify the developers what type of checkin dicipline is expected
for version control use. Since many modern version control
systems do not have a project state to enforce checkin disipline
this can be the only mechanism for developers to learn what is
expected of them at the current time. Typically the notice
board is used to announce when a developer makes major changes
to the source code or to confirm that a recent build failure is
being fixed or backed out.
