Heh.  Personally, I've never really been all that fond of the GWN being
"an official Gentoo publication"; I'd much rather see it as a true
community news source.  I've always thought that by making it an
official publication it _appears_ to be more propaganda than news.

I suspect that the devs most likely to write an article for the GWN are
also those most likely to have a blog on planet.g.o.  Given the latter,
there's not much incentive for the former.
