Ok. How does the workflow look like though? Do you share the same password
with many editors or you want to act as a gateway by asking people to mail
you the content?
WordPress.com is basically MU, so we can use virtually the same
workflow that we'd use on a Fedora hosted solution. People who want to
contribute will need a
WordPress.com account, and then they can be
added in any number of different roles such as editor, author,
contributor etc.
I'd rather not act as a single gateway as that's a sure fire way to
kill a project like this, I'm going to get busier over the next few
months and relying on just me to post content would be a big mistake!
Will
news.fedoraproject.org redirect to this blog?
Hadn't considered it actually. Not convinced it's necessary at the
moment, but maybe it's a good idea.
