IIRC, the magazine was supposed to blend with the Fridge but later FC came along. I never really understood the seperate news section (mystory?) on the website, but probably they want to distinguish the community from the company. ....sigh !! > Let me be clear - I'm *not* proposing any kind of merging of the > initiatives themselves, because I think that each of them has a specific > and useful goal.

Some differences between UWN and Fridge that I see are : * Fridge has a formal tone. This was what was told to us at the start so will that change with the UWN being more informal and all ? * Will this change the tone of the Fridge?
