Furthermore, comments have been enabled through comments.apache.org, so
visitors and authors can discuss the modules on the site.

I had some talks with various people about how best to transition from
the old site to the new, and what we could agree on was as follows:

- The new site will have a link to the old site (which will be relocated
for the time being, before ultimately being scrapped at some point in
the distant future, once enough modules have migrated). This means the
old database will be retained for now, until we come to a decision as to
what should happen with it.

- Authors who have added modules to the old site will be informed of the
new site and asked to please resubmit their module for approval.

I am also pleased to say that the DOAP features are running smoothly,
and should prove useful to those who prefer using DOAP over manually
adding releases and editing their module information. Each project has a
DOAp page where module authors can view their current (auto-generated)
DOAP file with instructions on how to switch to DOAP, should they choose
to do so.

Given the response after my 'hard and fast' play, which I am pleased to
say stirred things up a bit, I will let people try out the site for
another few days, before I will propose a regular vote to transition to
the new system. I hope people will try out every feature the new site
has to offer (you can just make a fake module if you like), and view the
upcoming vote as a decision to move forward, rather than whatever things
could be done better with the new system. We can always improve on
things, but the important thing is that we move onto a new system that
provides a much better service for visitors.

With regards,
Daniel.
