Could Red Hat Magazine's infrastructure handle the posting of the 
articles, but maybe redhatmagazine.com by default wouldn't show fedora 
tagged articles, and a news.fpo site could simply be a template that 
takes the redhatmagazine.com/feed.rss?tag=fedora (or whatever, something 
like that) RSS feed from RHM's infrastructure and posts it to news.fpo?
