If Alan has rescinded his veto (I haven't seen that on the list yet), and there is precedent for an Apache app to have its find-it search look at non-ASF sites (with potentially conflicting licences) first by default, then I will change my veto also. -0 I prefer that the default site be hosted at ASF, but this will do in a pinch.  It is my understanding that all Geronimo commiters will have access to this default site.  It is also my understanding that updates to this default site are not tied to Geronimo releases and that external projects/companies can expect some sort of reasonable SLA for the registration of their plugins; I would think that a 72 hour turnaround is reasonable. The default site should also manage the list of plugin _sites_.  This way projects/companies can add their own plugin site w/out having to wait for a Geronimo release.  Again, some sort of reasonable SLA for the registration of their plugin site; I would think that a 72 hour turnaround is also reasonable.  Users could use this to update their console list of available sites.  In short the list of plugins on the default site should be virtually updatable by the community w/out waiting for Geronimo releases and the list of plugin sites should be virtually updatable by the community w/out waiting for Geronimo releases. I recommend that we create a new Jira component for the purpose of plugin  and plugin site registration requests. I prefer that it be named .org but, that's a trivial matter. Regards, Alan
