... And if you think about it, something that's written with journalists specifically in mind will tend to be: - well-structured (inverted triangle, etc.) - concise but understandable - and with plenty of human interest We might think that oh, yes, of _course_ that makes sense, and that would be useful to everyone, but you know as well as I do that not all the documents on the Internet are written to such standards. =) > anyway we're losing focus here.

I It can work both ways, actually. =) We don't want to forget PLUG, of course. But if we talk about PLUG and make the benefits of Linux/FOSS only a footnote, then we'll be like far too many self-important organizations that seem to be primarily about getting their executives' pictures into the papers... ;) (Kidding! I don't actually know of any.
