Hey Guys,

I realize that the new version of the website that we built
during last summer for DARPA XDATA was not made “whole” vis-a-vis
the content currently on http://oodt.apache.org/. However, they
both can co-exist in SVN, at least until we push all of the content
over.

But I’m no longer of the opinion that that situation is a blocker
anymore. The new website can be updated using the ASF CMS by anyone
that reads the CMS documentation - and the CMS is more supported
than our current website process. Find out more about the Apache
CMS Here:

The new version of the website that OODT web site is here:

http://oodt.staging.apache.org/

I figure if we publish it as our main site, we will force ourselves
to fixing all the bugs with it.

Considering how frequently our website is updated (compared to
the wiki), and in general who has knowledge or has ever published
our existing oodt.apache.org website (few) versus who has already
updated the CMS-based website (many), I wanted to gauge folks’
opinions on asking infra@ to cut over the website. I just rolled
the 0.8.1 RC #2 so hopefully with the 0.8.1 release we can get the
new website up and running and start working on simply making it
better and cutting over the existing content to it.

WDYT?

Cheers,
Chris
