[svlug] time for a Digg fork?

[Christian Einfeldt]

For some time now, a group of friends have been discussing the fact that
Digg seems to be controlled by a professional astroturfers.  Stories about
Apple and Microsoft make the fp a lot, and FOSS less so.

Maybe we should respond by creating a separate service with a completely
different URL that just mirrors the FOSS stories there, and stop going to
digg itself.  We could then have a place to go to read FOSS-related stories,
without having to plough through all of the news about proprietary code that
is not interesting to us.  It would also be a good business model.  And,
coincidentally, the digg software is FOSS, AFAIK, and so is forkable.  I
think that FS daily uses it.
