I'm working on blackmail and head-bashing from within Red Hat. Also, working on a few infrastructure details before making YAGeneral call for release notes and beat writers. Sub-project leaders need to be accountable and responsible for getting the content into the designated locations (see below). They can delegate the responsibility to someone in their project to be the beat writer. The FDP is taking this content, editing it, converting it into single- source XML, working with translation, packaging it into fedora-release, and posting it on the Web. > The beat writer stuff seems to be pretty reasonable sized chunks of > responsibility.

That we need more than just some notes dropped into bugzilla, but actual ownership from the projects. We're going to open up content submissions to include the Wiki, with a more open editing rule (have to create an account but don't require EditGroup access.) Hopefully we'll see more raw chunks of content made available. We'd see input from testers who might not otherwise mess with the Wiki. > How much does a Google text ad go for?
