If we're looking at non-Free stuff then Tumblr[1] has an easily used API and is a richer format than identi.ca/twitter. If any of this is going to be done then it would be nice to have someone take responsibility for it /before/ announcing any live feeds. E.g. the Fedora Magazine feed appears to have solely #147 and #148 which makes it look as though we've come to a stop. I'd prefer to have no RSS feed rather than one which is advertised widely and then makes it look as though we've fallen off the map, when in fact we're working hard to push out an issue every week. > > Who all should have access to the account?

If there is a privately archived address then it's been lost in the mists of time along with the Feedburner stuff that I helped ThomasChung set up. I guess I could email him and ask.
