A couple of quick thoughts.  Rahul, I looked at the links which you have 
me for news.opensuse and ubuntu fridge.  I don't think that our goals 
deviate too much as part of the purpose of foobar is to build a better 
fedora weekly news, both in content and distribution, but also to 
augment it with additional content.

That being said, Jon mentioned that the goals were very similar and as 
per the thread you linked me to they seem to be.  Given that the 
activity on that has waned over the last year, all things considered, 
can we discuss maybe merging these two vision under the foobar banner?  
I'm just curious if you guys think it will work.

The time is ripe, we have many good ideas, we have vision, many of our 
guys are back on the radar, and enough so that I think we can honestly 
pull something like this off with a little bit of work in a fairly 
decent (3-4 month) time span and have it be very visually pleasing to 
boot.  From there we can go in any number of different directions 
regarding who makes what types of content and how often.

Thoughts?

Jack
