My first thought when I saw this was why they decided to create a new periodical and not include expanded Fedora art pieces in FWN. The Art team is something that has pretty broad appeal.
I wondered too, but if Martin wanted to write it I had nothing against (he sent me the page for a check before publishing).
One way to handle this would be for Nicu to incorporate this into his Art Beat as appropriate; another might be to ask if this could be made
If you cross check, those news were covered by me in the last 2 weeks for FWN.
into its own section in FWN when it is released. It might be worthwhile
2 or 3 months ago I asked Martin to post formal status updates about icon development to the art list so I have source material for FWN.
The thing is that Echo has many weeks of total silence, so probably you can't count on it for a regular item. Things heated up a bit now as we think about including it as a feature for F10 but if we achieve that *and* a good coverage of the icons, then it will get into maintenance mode, so very silent (but we have lot of work until then).
for the FWN team to do outreach to the subprojects to let them know what FWN can do for them in disseminating information throughout the community.
Comments and ideas very welcome.

The echo-icon-theme development team just officially released its first Echo Monthly News Issue [1]. In this release we cover these sections:
1. New Icons 2. "Huge" icons - 256x256 3. One Canvas Work-Flow 4. Automating the secondary jobs 1. Add a new icon set to Git 2. Setting up Git repository 3. Updating Git repository 4. Creating New Icon from Template 5. RPM package and other issues 5. Echo for Fedora 10? 6. Future plans 7. Request for feedback
Since it's our first release it is not perfect and therefore we will appreciate any feedback, suggestions for improvement, etc. at the fedora-art-list and #fedora-art at irc.freenode.net :)
