I would agree with Rahul that we probably shouldn't further divide our
traffic to other domains.  We want to bring them into the front door -
fedoraproject.org - and let that act as a place to get to other more
content specific areas.  That's not to say we couldn't have a section
geared for users as either a subdirectory or sub-domain under
fedoraproject.org.

By bringing people into the Fedora community through a main landing
page it should also make messaging to the community a little easier,
as we would have one main place to put that special banner announcing
the upcoming FudCon, Alpha and Beta releases, Gold releases, etc.
