There are specific areas of interest for each developer (or technician in general) followed by people have the same interest in those areas. A sysadmin, is likely interested to the server improvements, and the numbers of sysadmin are less than the number of the generic users (maybe much more interested, speaking about one of your skills, to an how to gimp/inkskape). It's technical also, but this kind of topic reaches more people. When you discussed about fedora.next, or better, when you discuss about hubs, I see people really interested in, asking questions and talk of some improvement from their point of view. Instead when a developer talks about the change of version of video drives, yes, people is hearing, but how many of them really understand all the thing? So, I'm for at least categorize magazine, so user are able to find what they are looking for and for having more topics (just like this one) that get once more transparency the Project. But I absolutely don't want the removal of the technical focused articles. Thanks.
