And... just so I can contribute something useful and constructive, :-)
I think what would make great sense is calling this site "Fedora
News."

Lest anyone think this is too generic, the madness hath method!  The
kind of information we are proposing go into the site is *precisely*
that which used to be covered by Fedora Weekly News.  We're basically
removing the "Weekly" in name as well as concept.  And perhaps you
could visit it at news.fp.o -- which makes sense not only for naming
but because it is the news of the project itself.

If you think of these companion sites in terms of movies -- which
everyone should know by now I love -- Fedora Magazine is a lot like
Empire, and Fedora News is a lot like Variety.  You read the first
because you love going to movies and dipping into more about them.
You read the second because you're in the business of making movies,
and you need to know things like what studio exec just hopped jobs, or
that the Writers Guild is bucking for more benefits.
