I'm concerned that if we create people.apache.org we create another inside/outsider boundary. I've got a handful of other concerns about this, but that's my primary one.
Some other ones...
I'd rather not co-mingles the Apache brand with the personal web face of individuals in various subparts of the community.
Our mission. Creating great software. Puzzling out how to do that productively in cooperative volunteer teams. Releasing that widely
under a license that is both open. Crafting an effective open license.
One that doesn't entrap folks.
I have to do a lot of A supports B supports C supports D before I get to the conclusion that D, building out a mess of committer web pages, supports A, the mission of the foundation.
I'm concerned that a few highly vocal members might generate the impression that the foundation is taking positions that it's not. Consider Sam's web log with where he's been poking at RSS - that's not a ASF position. Consider my web log with it's rants on the wealth distribution - that's not an ASF position.
The easiest way to avoid a star stage is not to build the stage.
