Hi Thomas,

Thanks!

I had the same thought, and expressed it to Stefan as such, when he
suggested qemu.org :-).  I too found it odd to have a kernel-heavy
article on qemu.org.

I thought about it; but I've never seen anyone write an "article" there;
as it's a WikiSpace.  And, like Paolo, I couldn't think of a better
place either.  

FWIW, the qemu.org blog is indexed by a few blog "planet" aggregators;
and linux-kvm.org is largely a static site that is occasionally updated
by people if they happened to notice something (especially if it's
egregiously wrong).

Another _potential_ venue: Given the topic is kernel space-related, it
is likely to fit in with the LWN audience.  LWN itself says they
generally look for kernel-related articles.  Although, I'm aware that
there's already a few LWN articles being written on KVM Forum-based
talks.  (Perhaps once the "KVM Monolithic" patch series merges, this can
be reworked into a standalone LWN kernel article — assuming LWN is
amenable to it; need to check with LWN.)
