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: http://apache.org/dev/cms 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?
