Well, based on all the other great support, I think I'm gonna go ahead
with this idea.  It was half baked at the time, and I think I'm gonna
get it out more...

I've brainstormed some names and I've written my thoughts under 'em.
Let me know what you guys think.

- Fedora Stories
   of course, sometimes the word 'story' means fictional story to some
- Fedora showAndTell!
   or any other crazy capitalization/punctuation marks. SHOWandTELL?! ;)
- Your Fedora

and so on.  I'm thinking it would be a good idea to get a subdomain off
fedoraproject.org with our name -- i.e., stories.fedoraproject.org,
showandtell.fedoraproject.org...

Unless we don't need that.  It might be possible just to live with a
wiki page with instructions on submitting your story, and maybe a web
form with licensing instructions.  Messages could be approved by a team
of people every now and then, and some good quotes put in a queue for
the front page.

To answer gopal's question on how one would submit their story, either a
web form or an email address would work.  I'd think a web form might be
better, because redhat legal might want all of them licensed in a
certain way for us to be able to use them.

Anywho, still baking this idea, and I'd love your input.  I'm going to
talk with Infrastructure to see if they're willing to make a subdomain.

Thanks for all the support!  Lemee know what you think -- ian
