Hey folks, I was wondering if anyone had interest in setting up a Wordpress MU install for Fedora's infrastructure? Gerold Kassube on the marketing team had this cool idea to set up a blog per Fedora foundation (freedom, friends, features, first) and the multiuser capabilities of wordpress seem ideal to drive the project. Let me know if you have any interest in this. It would be really, really useful for Fedora's marketing. Thanks, ~m
