I've also added this to 
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_print_magazine_proposal#Fedora_to_provide 
so we know what we'd need to do in case we decide to go with the "we're 
going to print a magazine!" proposal.

Still exploring possibilities, still in need of thoughts and feedback - 
is this a good idea? What difficulties - or benefits - or both - do you see?
