Public bug reported:

Now that with 1.9 it is possible for institutions to have static pages
and change their content, it is not really possible anymore for site
admins to make an announcement for all users, e.g. site outage
announcements, upgrade announcements etc.

while one option might be to have a section on a static page reserved
for site admins, another option could be to have a pop-up that comes up
once for users (not every time they go to the logged-out page).

See workflow.arts.ac.uk (screenshot) for an example.

Since announcements may be made a couple of weeks in advance, it might
still be good to have a place in a sidebar or elsewhere to show that
information as well so that forgetful people are reminded closer to the
date. Or alternatively, display the pop-up again to all users on the day
of the actual event no matter whether they had already seen it or not.
