Sorry, I don't understand this. I read on CWIKI pages that after a PMC agreed they can file a request for a confluence space using the INFRA JIRA. I think this is separate from volunteering to mantain things. As you know I think I dedicate a lot to ASF and you can count the number of messages I write supporting JAMES users. I cannot do much more as I'm not a member, but I don't think that this should give my proposal more or less validity. But maybe I really didn't understand your sentence. Does this mean that ASF is discussing about removing CWIKIs from ASF infrastructure and/or deny new requests? Does this means they want to restrict access to members? Can you give me links to read about? > Not sure what this has to do with Confluence, though, since that is a > commercial Wiki which the ASF has worked around to provide some modicrum of > performance for those projects that use it as an authoring tool.

I don't think that we can really take a distinction about this and I think it is clear that ASF projects can safely use confluence and JIRA as most of them already do that. If you prefer another tool then you're safe to tell this and to explain your reasons (your vote count like everyone else, don't worry). I prefer Confluence to Roller because it would provide us better integration with JIRA and IMHO it is a more complete tool that give us a blog as a starting point but that we'll be also able to use for much more things (like exporting some website part to improve the publishing workflow). That said I'm also fine with Roller, but I need more informations about where it is hosted, how we do manage it, how users are managed and so on to understand what we'll be able to do with it.
