Questions :
- Did there is a need for a weblog package installed at apache.org where commiters could put notes about THEIR ASF related works ?
I have no problem with PMCs having weblogs as part of their public face. I am concerned that this diverts attention from the code and the cooperative work on that code. I prefer that oversight of this remain encapsulated with the PMC and that individual PMC make the decision if they have the bandwidth to do that oversight.
I liked like to see some experimentation with PMC blogs where for example all of some selected kind are allowed to post. I think that would be interesting to see how it works. I'm concerned that if the 'selected kind' was a dozen people only one or two would post and that would give the impression that those one or two had a unique voice in that PMC. That said I think it could be an interesting experiment.
I think it's premature for big leap of faith that blogs.apache.org or some similar would make things function more smoothly.
- Should we select a Java based solution (the request came from jakarta-general initially), or anything else ?
Another good example of why this might be best left to the PMCs.
- Which packages/products are good candidates, having licence without apache members/commiters contestations ?
I'd very much prefer something with a compatible license. Something I we can all provide patches for.
