-0 to hosting weblogs on official ASF sites. (I think I'm really a -1, but haven't had enough time to think about it deeply) IMO We already have plenty of places for any committer to post notes about their ASF work - in your project's CVS tree is the traditional place, archived mailing lists are available (although not optimal for this kind of content), project websites are a great place for this, and some existing auto-update project mechanisims including Forrest are already available for this as well. Reading the foundation page again reinforces the fact that we want to help support our *communities* to build software. Weblogs feel like too much of an *individual* soapbox to me to really make the cut under our purposes. Plus, we already seem to have enough load on our infrastructure volunteers, and this doesn't sound like something extra I'd want to ask them to do. And the rest of the questions are moot until we decide on the first one. Several other people have mentioned this here and on other polls or votes we've had: we first need to identify, describe, and come to consensus on the issues to solve or the features we need. *Then* we can work on the details of how to implement the solution or which kind of code to build the features we want to use. Getting agreement on just the big picture first (should ASF host weblogs) before even bringing up details will work much better IMO. ===== - Shane <eof .sig="'When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said, in a very scornful tone, 'it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less'" "Oohayu oyod?!"=gis. /> __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
