Hi Vid, Just to correct a couple of misunderstandings from my original post:

I'm not proposing that the differences between the two change. In fact, I'm not proposing that either initiative change in any way for the purposes of this idea. However, the task of gathering news and coordinating news writing is common to both the projects (and others), so I'd like to bring the people involved closer and working on the same mailing list. >> could be renamed from the existing list called >> ubuntu-marketing-submissions).
