Hello, There was considerable tension in the community lately regarding the Openmoko community resources, namely docs.openmoko.org , wiki.openwoko.org , svn.openmoko.org , people.openmoko.org .
The problem is that not only the servers were unstable and apparently required a kick every now and then but also that there's no clearly visible contact person and the whole situation regarding the resources is causing honest concern and inconvenience in community. Right at the moment svn.openmoko.org and docs.openmoko.org are still inaccessible (since weeks) and nobody really knows how to proceed. For the community to be able to deduce a way to manage this situation i would like to ask everybody involved to clarify these questions: 1. Who owns the servers and who pays which bills? How to get a proxy or transfer the responsibility for the openmoko.org domain and infrastructure to other person in case the original owner becomes unavailable? Whom can you propose to take this role? 2. Who actually has admin credentials, is supposed to care about things like server outages, and what is the suggested procedure to contact that person? Is there a proxy for this position? How to transfer the credentials to another person in case the original maintainer becomes unavailable? 3. What is the practical and reliable way to do administrative tasks like e.g. obtaining the dump of the wiki and docs.openmoko.org bugtracker database? 4. What suggestions do you have to improve the status quo? Thanks in advance for your replies and commitment.
