I think something like that would be worthwhile, not only is it much easier from the point of view of developers to have one person/group to contact about making new announcements, but also from my experience with another group (unrelated to BSD or even IT in general) I've found that it makes things much easier for the media if they have one point of contact for enquiries who can then pass on the request to the appropriate person within the group. > Media liaison is around providing a single point of contact for media > requests, to make it easier for people unfamiliar with the project to > find their way to the right people and resources.

I think the submission part is the most difficult - plenty of people are more than capable of writing articles that would be of a publishable standard, but may not want the hassle of chasing up magazine editors in an attempt to get their material published.
