Hmm. I think if we grab a domain and donate it to the ASF, that it can't be hosted on non-ASF hardware. That would need to be verified. Maybe it would be better for the Royale PMC to approve Royale.xx as a third-party domain under Carlos's control. I think that's allowed. The policy [1] says that "in general" it is NOT allowed, but "in general" implies it isn't a hard and fast rule.
IMO, things under the PMC's control have certain obligations. It has to be sustainable by "anyone". How many folks know how to edit WordPress themes? I don't. I always choose one of their default themes. It might have to be hosted or host-able by Apache Infra, and I don't know if they are ok with WordPress. Personally, I want to be able to stick FlexJS apps in our web presence. Honestly, I'd actually like to see our entire web presence be built in FlexJS. It would truly be "eating our own dog food". Yes, I know that mostly static pages aren't a great match for FlexJS/Royale, but in the end, shouldn't all of our web presence be dynamic?
