Fedora Journal?

[Pascal Calarco]

Hi Jon and all --

Its good to see that there is some traction with getting wordpress-mu 
going again for FWN and other content.  I just read the Fedora Marketing 
meeting log, and count me in to help with work on this.  The most 
obvious benefit we'll get is a graphical branded presence, and then 
syndication as well.

I am not sure in this new format the extent to which the name Fedora 
Weekly News needs to be retained.  In a sense the entire effort is going 
to be news on the project, right?  OTOH, FWN does have name recognition, 
and it might help to identify sections of the site, since there are 
going to be content from all across the project.

Most of the current sections of FWN will find sections of their own in 
the new format, I'd think.  Certainly Ambassadors, Planet, Art/Design, 
Translation, Development.  Dale's virtualization beat is a creation unto 
itself, covering several different areas.  We'll hopefully be able to 
get content from other areas that aren't even represented.

I think we should use this opportunity to fully commit FWN to this 
larger effort.  News will gain a lot from a branded presence and we can 
all contribute to a larger goal.

Perhaps the place to start is simply going through and determining what 
sections make sense in the new site, and where FWN could contribute 
content to these areas?
