Other OpenSource projects are pretty successful wrt. maintaining a
continuously growing amount of data and it's obvious that the
FlightGear projects is, well, a little bit different in this respect.
Nevertheless I don't think that the projects traditional policies
should be changed just because "our" server/repository infrastructure
didn't manage to keep up with the projects success.
To my opinion we should aim at having as many people involved as
possible - and if the current way of managing the repository doesn't
scale, then it's time to have a repository which is suitable to meet
the requirements of the job.
Running and maintaining a large, growing repository is not a technical
issue, "we" are just facing issues due to some tiny but relevant
details about how things are being organized here. The old story ....
Cheers,
Martin.
