It wasn't hasty. I thought long and hard about that. I don't see it as censoring. It is just the same as any change that we make to code or docs. If we see something that we reckon is not correct or could be improved, then we change it. If other people think that it needs discussion or needs to be reverted, then say so as we are doing now. In the past i have made other changes to this live-sites doc and to other docs that linked to sites that were not relevant. (Not saying that this case is not relevant.) Thorsten, don't take any of this personally. We are still a new project and need to set our direction. As before i am using real-life situations to mould that. I see this current situation as an important aspect of community-building. It is not about the "history". Anyone who is interested can find that in the archives or we can try to build a concise timeline. -David > Since we as the PMC actually endorse all other content on the site, > maybe this live-sites page needs a disclaimer at the top saying that > the Forrest PMC, commiters, and developers provide these links for > examples and information only - we do not endorse any particular > product, service, or information linked from this page? > > --tim > > [1] - http://forrest.apache.org/docs_0_80/changes.html
