      Do we have stats showing any difference in traffic to
        community vs user oriented content?

      I'd argue planet.fpo is the contributor version.... and
        magazine is the user version. I liked Paul's idea of having the
        default on the front page being user focused content instead of
        all. An idea is that the contributor focused stuff could get
        posted to planet via fedora mags rss feed which links back to
        fedoramag, but not promoted as the user content is.
      

      I think youre going to get a better site overall by making a
        choice rather than straddling the two audiences. There is such a
        dearth of Fedora user-focused content in general I really think
        better to make fedoramag for them since they need it. You could
        better serve contributors with some curation on planet.fpo
        (display planet.fpo curated by default?) or by getting
        individuals already listed on planet to make more better posts.
        (And the hubs, when they are ready :) )
      

      Re underground silo.... what kinds of critical contributor
        content are you most concerned about?  would planet.fpo not
        serve that content well?
      

      If the concern is that planet posts are fleeting, could we
        stand up another wp - very informal - for the contrib focused
        stuff... but no front end, brand identity, or anything, just an
        rss feed to be slurped into planet but the posts / comments /
        stats would be stored in the wp?

      So, what I was going for in suggesting the user/contributor
      categories

      kind of _is_ like having a mini separate site, like this
      suggestion but

      with a lot less overhead both in systems administration and in
      blog

      administration. A whole 'nother site would double the workload,
      and

      we're largely depending on (awesome — thanks!) volunteer efforts
      for

      this as it is.

      
      I'm also concerned with too strong of a divide meaning that the

      important contributor-focused articles end up in yet another

      underground silo somewhere... we've had a hard enough time
      building up

      the magazine as a place to look.
