We're part of a community that has QoS, lifespan and support requirements.
The ASF doesn't host important things on non-ASF infrastructure. Transient
toys, fine.

Having Roller available for ASF announcements was suggested by me at
ApacheCon San Diego, but it isn't something that I felt like driving. I
have, however, started to participate with the rest of the Infrastructure
Team on the overall issue of enablement. This takes place, naturally
enough, on the Infrastructure Team's own mailing list.
Coincidentally, this very topic has been the most active discussion for the
Infrastructure team over the past week or so, regarding supporting and
hosting applications for ASF use. I've already suggested that Roller be the
pilot.
At least for the moment, we are talking about requirements to ensure
appropriate levels support, and how to enable volunteers, not hiring
additional staff to run applications.
