Hrm. I'm going to disagree here. We have a wide and diverse community that (I feel) benefits from having content for contributors as well as users on Fedora Magazine. I guess my question here is, if I come to Fedora Magazine with a contributor-focused article - is it going to be turned away? Traditional publishing structures have value, but we're also lacking the same incentives (e.g. money) for writing content that a publication like Linux Pro Magazine has. Is the focus being proposed here going to lead to more or less material being written about Fedora? >>> Re underground silo.... what kinds of critical contributor content >>> are you most concerned about? would planet.fpo not serve that >>> content well? Planet.fpo does not serve the same function as the magazine well.
