------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2007-01-23 02:33 ------- OK, sounds like an external release-announcements blog is unpopular. ;) FWIW, here are the reasons I was considering it to be a possibility: - 1. having a basic "news page" is not as friendly as a "news blog" (using a blog allows (a) web-based publishing of new items (b) user-subscribable RSS feeds (c) syndication to other sites via feeds) - 2. the ASF has no existing blog hosting system (Jakarta have some hacks to publish an RSS page from their news page, but it's frankly horrific and there's no way we should adopt it: see http://jakarta.apache.org/site/news/index.html#How%20To%20Add%20News%20(Committers) ) - 3. ASF infrastructure don't have the bandwidth to set one up or host it (we've been waiting 18 months for the relatively simple issue of email submission to bugzilla, so this is clearly the case) - 4. several ASF-linked blogs (such as http://feather.planetapache.org/ , http://www.apachenews.org/ , and planetapache.org itself) are already hosted and run external to ASF infrastructure. However, I'm not too bothered, anyway. Using a "news" page on the current site, or a wiki page, is probably the best compromise. (PS: regarding Planet Apache -- that is, in fact, an *external* site offering syndication of *external*, non-ASF, blogs! It's not hosted by the ASF. in other words, an external blog would of course be part of Planet Apache.) ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.
