There are a lot of Linux portals out there, but, until now, none of them have really seemed like the right central source for Linux information. This isn’t to say there aren’t great Linux websites out there, but many of them are of a different kind. This website, for example, is primarily focused on news. What has been missing is a community-powered portal for Linux.
After Linux.com closed down a while ago, the Linux Foundation apparently bought the domain and has just put up a coming soon page. What is exciting is that there is also a Brainstorm-like site for users to submit their ideas for the new site. In addition, it has already been promised that the content will be largely community-produced.
Between being comunity-driven, open to suggestions from anyone, backed by the Linux Foundation, and having a clear name (Linux.com), I would say that this site has a good chance of becoming a valuable resource for the community and newbies alike.
