The structure, membership process, and governance of the Foundation need to be worked out quickly. The announcement of the TDF created a momentum of recognition in the community that is only going to last for a finite time. Once that buzz fades away, our ability to be heard above the background radiation fades with it. In short, everyone reads page 1 of LWN; almost no one reads the announcements page. It should be obvious which page we want our news to be on.
