I'd argue planet.fpo is the contributor version.... and
magazine is the user version. I liked Paul's idea of having the
default on the front page being user focused content instead of
all. An idea is that the contributor focused stuff could get
posted to planet via fedora mags rss feed which links back to
fedoramag, but not promoted as the user content is.
I think youre going to get a better site overall by making a
choice rather than straddling the two audiences. There is such a
dearth of Fedora user-focused content in general I really think
better to make fedoramag for them since they need it. You could
better serve contributors with some curation on planet.fpo
(display planet.fpo curated by default?) or by getting
individuals already listed on planet to make more better posts.
(And the hubs, when they are ready :) )
Re underground silo.... what kinds of critical contributor
content are you most concerned about? would planet.fpo not
serve that content well?
If the concern is that planet posts are fleeting, could we
stand up another wp - very informal - for the contrib focused
stuff... but no front end, brand identity, or anything, just an
rss feed to be slurped into planet but the posts / comments /
stats would be stored in the wp?

So, what I was going for in suggesting the user/contributor
categories
kind of _is_ like having a mini separate site, like this
suggestion but
with a lot less overhead both in systems administration and in
blog
administration. A whole 'nother site would double the workload,
and
we're largely depending on (awesome — thanks!) volunteer efforts
for
this as it is.
I'm also concerned with too strong of a divide meaning that the
important contributor-focused articles end up in yet another
underground silo somewhere... we've had a hard enough time
building up
the magazine as a place to look.
