It can use the same infrastructure, but make it as independant as possible to the eyes of readers (ie: not a *.redhat.com URL, Fedora look and feel, ...). We should try to separate the two brands. Of course RedHat is liable for Fedora, but if we use the RHM, we'll be seen as a RedHat product (which we don't want right ?). The recent "incident" already hurt the independance of the Fedora Community. Let's not perpetuate this situation.
