Sorry for breaking the thread and top posting w my awful mobile

Do we have stats showing any difference in traffic to community vs
user oriented content?
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.
This is a good idea to consider, also. And +1000 to the Planet point
you made. I talked about Planet in another post from a different POV
(content is kind of a firehose without grouping or audience
definition) but I think we may be in agreement.
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
:) )
+1 here too.
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?
This is an interesting idea; does it mean that we would route *only*
contributor-focused articles to Planet? I actually think that could
be smart to improve Planet relevance/coherence.
