yeah, we had a discussion about this a while back, and this is where the 
idea of a seperate site propagated from. The idea here is that different 
sites will allow us to focus content on our two prime audiences. Even 
with categories, people that really only care about user-facing content 
have a larger signal-to-noise ratio with posts about elections, 
community stats etc.

That is not to say that *some* of the communtity related content doesn't 
belong on the magazine, it's just that not all of it should be there, 
firehose style. We also get the added benefit of when we do put 
community-releated content on the magazine, we can tailor it in an 
outreach-style to a more focused audience -- for example a flock post 
would go into more detail of flock and it's aims while a majority of 
people that are already contributors already know this.
