I’ve put a couple of docs in https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/comdev/community/wg-website as a starting point. Note that someone has already opened an infra ticket to mirror this on Github, so if you hate svn, just wait a day or two.
I will be moving my ToDo list, which currently resides on paper here on my desk, to the file wip.md so that 1) folks know what I’m working on and 2) hopefully some of y’all can come help. Please also add your items there. Or, y’know, once we have a GitHub mirror, we can use tickets there instead? I don’t feel strongly about this. Just trying to get stuff done. — Rich Bowen rbo...@rcbowen.com > On Feb 7, 2024, at 11:11 AM, Rich Bowen <rbo...@rcbowen.com> wrote: > > Proposed: Form a formal Website working group. > > (I am aware that I haven’t defined “working group” yet, and I do, in fact, > intend to propose a Working Groups Working Group which could possibly > formalize what a working group looks like.
