Maybe an official news blog-type-thing, most likely on the front page, would help get news out to other larger Linux news sites. (I'm not necessarily sure if this has been attempted before already.)
news.fedoraproject.org is in the works, mainly for just that job.
Are press releases also an option?
Yes, but best is press.redhat.com; it's a blog output, several of us in the Marketing SIG can post to it as "the Fedora team", and it is watched by a growing number of technical and other press. It's somewhere I'd "post also", that is, output a press release to news.fp.o and make sure a copy gets to press.r.c.
Both could be used when announcements are made about features, new alphas/betas are available, etc.
Maybe as we get into Alpha, John could post about accepted features to the news.fp.o blog? Seems like a good fit for the Feature Wrangler. :)
