Basically Sun Microsystem uses Collabnet infrastructure the same
way novell uses G-forge for their Novell-forge infrastructure.
Folks, Please let us now focus for now on the current infrastructure
provider. Okay?
For discussions of what you want: use the wiki that has been set up.
Do not focus or relate to the current infrastructure provider, please.
Thanks

Hi Louis,
I do wonder why an open source project uses a closed source
infrastructure! Surely it would be possible to get the community
to have total control of the system, using open source software.
Then if there are any problems, the community has full flexibility
and creativity to make changes.
Of course, you do need a gate keeper, and staging/testing server,
to make sure you don't get any random person making unwanted changes.
This of course is a rather radical view. However in the
OpenStreetMap project, who use this model with ruby on rails as
the server, have many contributors on the web site/apis etc.
Add to the list: anoncvs that will actually stay up to date all
the time.

Hi all,
In parallel with enhancing the download process for endusers, [0]
I'd like to revisit the overall infrastructure requirements. You
probably recall this favourite page:
* http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/
Infrastructure_Requirements
Basically, it's a wishlist of how we want things to be on OOo,
primarily from the contributors' perspective. I would like for
us to revisit it and update it, and see if we can finalize it.
How will this effort differ from the enduser pages redesign?
Well, the one for endusers focuses on making it easy (or at any
rate easier) for endusers to get OOo binaries in their language
plus any other things they may want, such as extensions, support,
etc. This infrastructure effort is focused on making it easier
for developers (but also any other contributor or user of OOo
site) to do things.
I realize it's absurd to put a deadline on something like this
but consider this: with key new members to the community such as
Redflag and IBM, now is the time to clarify what we want. So, the
sooner the better, and if we can come up with a finalized list by
1 October, if not sooner, that would be terrific (indeed, I
fantasize this could be done at OOoCon.)
What happens after the infrastructure requirements page is
finalized? Well, I envision that the ESC, which includes
representatives of the developers and stakeholders, can vote on
it. That will then become the document we can use. And if they
could do this by early to mid October, if not sooner....
Best,
Louis
