Blog for rpmfusion.org

[Chris Nolan]

Following this discussion [1] I have put together a Wordpress blog for 
rpmfusion.org [2].

You can log in with your FAS username and password: it uses a simple 
plugin to securely authenticate users against FAS and maps users to a 
Wordpress "role" based on which approved memberships they have in FAS. 
The mapping is currently set as sysadmin=administrator cvsextras=editor 
cla_done=subscriber so package maintainers automatically get editor 
rights and sysadmins automatically get admin rights.

If we're all agreed to at least give this a try (nothing ventured 
nothing gained etc) then I'll need a subdomain pointing to the server 
(say, news.rpmfusion.org or blog.rpmfusion.org?) and a link putting in 
the header of the main site. We also need to get it submitted to planet 
fedora but I'm not sure that I have sufficient approved memberships in 
Fedora FAS to do this.

Please let me know your feedback. I don't want to expend a massive 
amount of time on this if people aren't going to use it, but I really 
think it could be an excellent tool for communicating with our users so 
I would encourage people to post there if they have some 
rpmfusion-related news.
