This was discussed at the Board IRC meeting today. There's no
objection to you proceeding with this, and we'd like to see you work
with websites/infra to get this accomplished. In the meeting there
seemed to be a preference for a fedoraproject.org subdomain, and we
assume that infra/websites can easily make this happen. Of course the
wiki pages will remain for the planning infrastructure, but I assume
that is implicit. You may want to look at the full log to see the
discussion.[0]

Thanks for your patience with us in getting to this,

David Nalley
