Add news item about Volker's paper.  I created an articles
directory for the news site, assuming we'll continue to post
papers here.  Also, I updated the news script to exclude the
articles directory.

+    <p>If you find yourself saying, "What's all this I've been hearing about Samba 4?", then Volker Lendecke's "Advances in Samba4" paper might be for you.  The paper offers a nice overview of the reasoning behind creating Samba4, and outlines four areas of code where Samba4 is an improvement over Samba 3.</p>
+
+    <p>From "Advances in Samba4":</p>
+
+    <blockquote>Samba 4 has been in development for about 18 months now.  It is a complete start from scratch, hardly anything in the core Samba code is used commonly between Samba 3 and Samba 4.  Why was this done?</blockquote>
+
+    <blockquote>Samba 3 shows its age.  Essentially, it is still the very first implementation started by Andrew Tridgell more than a decade ago.  Certainly it has seen a huge amount of improvement since that first implementation, but the internal structure has not really changed during its development.</blockquote>
+
+    <p>The full paper is available <a href="/samba/news/articles/samba4_vl.pdf">here (in PDF format)</a>.</p>
+
+    <p class="credit">This paper was written for a talk Volker gave at Linuxkongress 2004, in Erlangen, Germany.  Thanks to the conference for allowing the paper to be presented here.</p>
