Mogul:
As for now, there is a separate registration required.
From what I understand about the PostNuke, it is possible to integrate a phpBB-forum-based module into the system. There will be some fine-tuning required, of course, but the technical possibilities of the system are very good. I shall try to make this.
The best is, the entire appearance (menue bar, adverisements, contents) can be modified online - by multiple users - so all the usual difficulties of group coordination belong to the past. The articles can be pre-written, edited and then released at the right time, some HTML-formatting can be allowed, e.g. pictures on the left/right side with floating text etc.
Feral:
It is a handsome page.
Must a person register for it separately, or is the registration the same as for the forum?
Mogul:
How with this new design, made with Postnuke? The Postnuke software is far more elaborated than the WordPress and offers better tools for both the design and content administration. The articles will be presented as a headline and a story lead-in in the first page, with various sub-pages and categories to be created if required.
So, my dear friends, who will take this challenge? There is no need that one person makes everything, it would suffice if each of us contributes a couple of articles or headlines with a link to the original sources.

Being fond of rainbows, I can't help but think it would be better if it had more rainbow stripes than a Rainbow Bright cartoon, but that is just me. ;) As a slightly more serious suggestion, the blue banner at the top could be lighter in general, so that it fades to a paler blue. I was thinking something along the lines of "goluboy." [..] Let the negotiations begin.

Ahem, the color change you propose was easy to make... Unfortunately, the software I have installed for testing puposes doesn't offer many options for layout design. The WordPress offers a simple multi-user input system for the SQL database, but all additional embedding into the website is supposed to be done by writing own php-scripts. As a novice to PHP, it would require me to invest some dedication ;D to learn how to do this properly. There are also some other products like Movable Type and Typo3 but I must first look on them carefully.
So, how shall we christian that new creature?

Unfortunately, "Prometheus" is already rather popular in blog names. Here is but a small selection:
http://sciencepolicy.colorado.edu/prometheus/
http://www.starsiege2845.com/forums/index.php?automodule=blog&blogid=2&
http://forum.objectivismonline.net/blog/prometheus98876/index.php?showentry=0
http://prometheusbound.wordpress.com/
Now, it is popular enough that one more site bearing the name "Prometheus" could hardly be said to ADD to the confusion. Still, it is just an interim name -- thought can be given to what might make an even more suitable name for our proposed news site.
Let the negotiations begin.
