Well, that was kind of my thought process. I've always enjoyed being able to read summaries of what took place on the various Fedora lists to get a feel for what's happening in the project overall.

So, I thought I could maybe take a whack at summarizing some of the posts to the fedora-xen list to help me grok the status and hopefully others as well. 

Fedora support for Xen dom0 is in flux to say the least. It's possible it won't be in F10, and there are some out there like me who require it given the hardware (without HVM) we are using.

It's a pretty low traffic list. I'm interested in oVirt too, but have yet to get involved with it. Virtualization is a pretty hot topic. I don't know if it could be it's own beat, but it is a multifaceted feature.

I could always blog about it and go the planet route. I have yet to get added to a group in FAS, so I don't yet have shell to hold a .planetrc. I should look into that first, I suppose.
