We can facilitate it and we already do that but ambassadors should be
educating themselves about the project.

I dont assume everyone reads these news but if anyone is interested in
the project enough to be an ambassadors, I would definitely expect them
to keep themselves informed on the major changes. If you want to help
others in this regard, you can summarize and post useful information on
a weekly basis to this list. It can even been included in the weekly
reports (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Projects/WeeklyReports/Archive)
or fedoranews.org and other places.

Sure they are. Everybody gets the same information. Whatever is useful
information for the ambassadors would be useful to everybody that is
interested in the project. You dont have to be an ambassadors to learn
and understand the project and that in my opinion is the way it should
be. Feel free to ask questions if required to clarify anything that is
not clear to you.
