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.

I don't agree. The purpose of this initiative is not to post personal notes, but to post "official" announcement about RPM Fusion.

For which everyone interested can add a rpmfusion category/tag to his blog and only post rpmfusion related stuff in there.
