Be excellent - answer questions

I think an important part of being excellent is to reply to questions,
so I'd like to re-send my questions about fedoracommunity.org. I already
sent them 10 days ago, but so far nobody has replied.

I'd like to know more about the idea behind and the history of
fedoracommunity.org. Who's idea was this? When was it discussed in
public? If it was not discussed, was it at least announced? I just
searched 65.000 Fedora related mails and could not find anything
related (except this discussion of course).

Is getting a *.fedoracomminity.org subdomain limited to the group of
Fedora contributors or FAS account holders?

How about content control? In the previous discussions about community
websites (on fedora-ambassadors-list back in January) the question
emerged if we were allowed to link to rpmfusion or even livna. Can
someone publish a "How to watch copy-protected DVDs with Fedora" article
or similar on fedoracommunity.org or any other community website?

Are we allowed to speak freely on these sites? According to the
trademark guidelines Red Hat gives licenses "solely in connection with
the promotion of the Fedora Project." When someone criticizes a decision
or recent development in Fedora, this surely is not promotion any
longer. Can Red Hat revoke the license because of that?

Kind regards,
Christoph
