A couple of reasons to keep that kind of thing: - You can see over time how Fedora was covered, and it gives us some idea what we did right or wrong in publicizing Fedora. - Record of publications that have covered Fedora in the past and might be interested in covering Fedora in the future. - To tell if release notes/talking points were effective. Do you see the same points turning up in the articles that we have highlighted? Note it's sort of a mirror of the kind of things PR departments/firms provide to clients "here's the press clippings, you can see how much (or little) coverage we've helped provide." > We've been talking about getting more insight into how Fedora is > perceived and used.

It's not useful if we don't do any sort of post-mortem after F21 to decide what we've done well, poorly, not enough of, etc. Either way I'll plan to do a final-coverage article on Fedora Magazine later in the week, but I also think having it on the wiki is useful for planning future releases.
