Insight and Fedora Weekly News
by Ruth Suehle
A group of interested people gathered today to discuss breathing some
new life into Fedora Weekly News (minutes below). What we concluded was
that we'd actually like to breathe some life into Insight and for FWN to
become an arm of that. To expound, here's the proposal:
- suehle, jbrooks, and iambryan have volunteered as editors
- We'd like to expand Insight to be more blog, web-magazine-style with:
- Short, informative content like you might think of FWN for
- Longer form stories, interviews, and articles
- The technical content that Fedora used to create to some extent
for Red Hat Magazine (which is in high demand but no longer exists)
- Cultivated content from Planet
- The content that Insight was already meant for, like Board
meeting minutes or announcements
- Fedora Weekly News would then become the weekly email newsletter of
highlights from what had been published on Insight that week.
- We'd like to see at least two writers/cultivators-of-content per beat
What we're looking for now is for someone to shout, "good idea!", "bad
idea!", or "I was already halfway through with something like that!"
before we continue down the path. "I'd like to help with a beat!" is
also a good answer. :-)
Thanks!
Ruth

Was just chatting with nirik on IRC about the feasibility of WordPress.
He says it was not a joy to maintain last time we tried it. But if
that's the preferred option, letting Wordpress.com host it and map to
Insight costs a whopping $13/year, which I imagine we could find in the
budget. It also massively simplifies user management, IMO, as a current
editor of both WP and Drupal sites.

I'm a huge fan of WordPress, so no objection here. I just wouldn't want
to throw away any significant effort that has been put into Drupal
features since I know how much work that is.

Meeting in five minutes
by Ruth Suehle
Sorry for the stupidly short notice, but for those who didn't already
know, meeting to discuss new life for FWN in five minutes in
#fedora-fwn. Minutes will be posted here, I swear, and more timely than
this email.
