It makes clear that the project is part of a community effort as opposed to being part of the official "fedoraproject.org" domain. I'm not going to short-circuit the discussion of the value or scope of this project, just wanted to clarify that we do have an appropriate domain available. Does this sound amenable? -- Paul W.
