User Story

We need a way to push content to dotCMS Users when we have important announcements, release notes, pro tips, and documentation to share.

To that end, we're building a new "Announcements Menu" in the UI that will pull our content and show it to dotCMS Users inside of their installed versions of dotCMS.

Acceptance Criteria

We need to get this done ASAP so it can be included in the next LTS and start rolling out to dotCMS Users.

Let's build the following items behind an "Announcements Menu" Feature Flag:

• Setup CMS Endpoints for Announcements Feed
• Setup Announcements Feed Consume Mechanism
• Setup Announcements Feed Caching Mechanism
• Build Announcements Menu
• Build Logic for Showing Unread Announcements
• Updates to Getting Started Page

And if there's time, we can also apply some visual updates to surrounding UI elements, only if time allows before the next LTS:

• Updates to Site Selector Menu
• Updates to Notifications Menu
• Updates to User Menu
• Updates to Sign In As Menu
