Please, Tom, a little todo list for you:
Try asking [EMAIL PROTECTED] about getting out of FreeBSD to run Java
decently.
Try asking them to install a servlet engine, a servlet that might need
several hundred megabytes of RAM and a native XML database all summing
up to more than a *million* of lines of code (apache is around 50000!)
Then report back to us. :)
Easy, you say: let's move xml.apache.org on another machine.
Good, try asking them about this.
It has been *YEARS* that we java-related members fight to have more
dynamic stuff on apache.org, but dynamism for them means .htaccess with
some mod_rewrite stuff and some content negotation.
Why this? several reasons, and some ego-related, but mainly: the less
dynamic stuff, the less security problems.
At the same time, the more machines, the less centralized the sys-admin
becomes for [EMAIL PROTECTED] that has to delegate more and more.
If it was for me, we would have xml.apache.org hosted on Cocoon since
summer 1999, but believe me, it's much easier to write a portable HTML
than to have Cocoon installed on apache servers.
yes, I hope to change this in the future and this Forrest effort is the
first step in this direction, but it's the first step, not the last one.
