I would like to propose the creation of the 'community.apache.org' web site.
Currently, some people have their apache homepage on www.apache.org/~name and some on cvs.apache.org/~name and some don't have it.
I'm -0 on the proposal for the following reason: what happens when someone places something inappropriate on their website? While I know we're all reasonably sane adults, I've run enough 'community' websites to get fed up with morons complaining about potentially offensive comments one of our users posted. Even worse, when people place infringing code/music/pictures, I end up being the bad guy shutting the account down. I don't appreciate it when someone does that. (Comments that we don't assume liability for the content doesn't assuage an irate moron - they'll still complain.)
I'm about as a strong proponent of free speech as there is, but this has the propensity to snowball into a bureaucratic nightmare. I'd rather people only have ASF-related stuff on their 'personal' ASF website, or a redirect/link to their 'official' non-ASF site. I don't see how this coincides with the goals of the ASF.
IMHO, each project (or sub-project) should have a page that lists all frequent contributors with a link to their preferred page (this is what HTTP Server and a few other projects do). For HTTP Server, some people have pictures and (not-so) witty comments on the 'contributors' page.
(Note: on infrastructure@, Stephen brought up ASF-wide blogs - my reply was essentially the same as this.) -- justin
