Not really, I cannot see how can the components
be slashdotted. Red Dawn seems to be slashdotting
the newsline now. The separate BBS that we may be
buying will be purely for general discussions that are
too mundane to make it to the main newsline.
Main newsline at http://linux.com.sg/news/index.shtml
should only deal with main open source events and their
respective discussion.
The forum, you can discuss about Ng Kai Hoe's birthday
and his girlfriends.
Well, you all get the idea, I hope. :)
