Jeremy posted about the "puplet" in his blog, carried on the Fedora
People planet feed last week:

This has a lot of community visibility in itself, but Rahul is right
that more publicity is a Good Thing.  However, in the time it took to
carry on this back-and-forth, anyone could have sent the link to Thomas
Chung at Fedora News so he can publicize it in the next issue, and
changed the wiki page.  (I've taken care of that.)  Let's try not to
badger folks who are getting work done, and instead spend our time more
constructively.

Thomas, if you could point this out in the next FedoraNews issue, it
would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
