Ok, I'm quite happy to register and host planetapache.org; whether or

Personally, a useful application of this technology would be to provide
projects with a means to publish news in a format that we could aggregate on
the site, and perhaps make use of for the newsletter. A blog and content
syndicator for use as an internal ASF news service would be a good thing.
At least two projects, WS (http://ws.apache.org/blog/) and POI
(http://nagoya.apache.org/poi/news/), already have project blogs, although
using different technologies. I would certainly support project blogs using
some standard technology.
I'd like to see us eat our own dogfood, and encourage projects to contribute
that way. We could see what projects like Cocoon/Lenya, Jetspeed/WSRP4J,
etc., might offer in combining their technologies in some manner.
Um, there's lots of standard technology for blogs. None of it was invented here. I suggested and volunteered to work on something that would let us *catch up* to what (supposedly slow moving) Debian, KDE, et al are doing. I did not volunteer to be a guinea pig for another let's (re)invent a CMS project.
If we want to do that in the background, that's fine. We can switch over when something is working, but I want to have something that works today. We've already been through this with Velocity, StyleBook, Cocoon, and Forrest. The xml.apache.org site was a slow moving dog because we kept waiting for a CMS system to get done.
