Maybe "awesome-announce" or "the-new-shinyness" (I'm kidding!
I'm bad
with names!) at
lists.fedoraproject.org, where all Fedora contributors
could post the fancy new thing that they just made? Because we
definitely don't have a good place for announcements like that right
now (the community blog might be the right place for some of those,
but it is a higher barrier to actually write a blog post that gets
edited etc. instead of writing an e-mail to a mailing list).
Hmmm.
The Community Blog should have a pretty low barrier to entry. Are
people feeling blocked by that? We should try to adjust if so.
As it is, the bar is basically "is this appropriate for this site" and "is
the categorization right", with the editorial pass mostly being for
egregious problems. In other words, I don't think it's actually much more
heavyweight than a moderated announce mailing list would be.
But I also am not sure Community Blog is the right audience — that's
intended to be contributor-facing, and this seems like something aimed to e
more user-facing.
