No comment other than what I read I found somewhat disturbing. Danny had a good idea, and I agree with it. Moving from that to an off-site blog is *the* part that I am strongly against. > We moved from the mailing list to the blog because mailing list are > "write-once" and we are not allowed to review the content (moderation > is done by a single moderator anyway). Simple solution: post the announcement as a draft to the dev@ list for review. I agree that we want a simple way to post news. For years, we have neglected the site, and just posted announcements to the mailing list. Once or twice every other year, someone would update the news area of the site. Again, I agree with Danny's goal entirely. And if you notice, in another e-mail I've asked you a specific question about process, and agreed that it could be at least an interim approach. > Danny showed us a javascript Yes: <script src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/apache-james?format=sigpro"; type="text/javascript" /> Separate issue, but I like Javascript *almost* as much as I like Maven. I have to deal with it daily, but I am in the anti-camp due to security issues. Sure, *I* can selectively enable/disable Javascript, but I don't want to subject the general community to security vulnerabilities (enabling Javascript) just for the sake of a news feed on our home page. I do like what Danny accomplished. As I said in another e-mail, I want to see the news integrated into our site, and Paul Querna had also suggested feedburner. But he suggested that it be used to generate static HTML, not used as above. There has to be a better way than Javascript. Let's find it. I'll be looking for details on your proposed workflow. Again, not against a nice workflow for publishing news. Against an external URL, and against Javascript for security reasons. --- Noel
