Sounds like the way to me too. So i gather that you are saying that we, Cocoon, need a group of us who are committed to maintain the operating system and supporting applications. I am keen to help and learn. A while ago there was another option discussed: moof.apache.org http://www.apache.org/dev/machines.html#moof Mac OS X 10.3 Server ... AFAIK nobody yet took up the offer of running apps there. There is an old gump there still. http://moof.apache.org:8080/gump/ Also we didn't yet investigate Stefano's suggestion of sharing brutus with Apache Gump. > > Having our own live Cocoon instance(s) could make all the difference > > in the way we do our docs, so if there's an opportunity I think we > > should make it happen. Interesting co-incidence. We just started talking about this again yesterday at Forrest. We had shelved plans for live webapp and forrestbot until infrastructure was more ready.

You'll learn a lot! Yeah, it is great. Just like at any other Apache project, one learns heaps just by being there. While we are there, we can do our bit to help out by answering some user questions. You know the drill. Just like any other Apache project, Infrastructure is a group of enthusiastic volunteers. We need help. Only committers and invited guests can join. Anyone can post so that they can report perceived problems. http://www.apache.org/foundation/mailinglists.html#foundation-infrastructure -- David Crossley
