This involves figuring out which of the community setup services which 
the board needs to endorse as part of the Fedora brand and that involves 
some amount of rubber stamping IMO. Whether it is setup internally or 
hosted externally is really a implementation detail if we all have a 
better understanding of the kind of the things the Fedora Board 
collectively wants to see happen (ie) vision and that is the 
communication and direction that I am really asking for apart from 
whatever routine short term management of the project.

Agreed. As part of these, we should look into the kind of activities 
that help the Fedora "ecosystem" and not just the direct benefits for 
the project. Linking to Creative Commons from start.fp.o as an example 
of what we have already done along those lines.
