That's what I'm leaning towards. If almost nobody is interested, that bypasses a lot of discussion. :) But I want to see what the rest of the "cabal" here think before I post to -discuss. > 2. Start a distro war* No joke. I'm interested in having a discussion about choice of distro with any volunteers. I don't hold any illusions that we're all going to agree on what should be the The One True Linux Distribution. However, most distro wars occur in the context of the general case, which makes them mainly academic. Here we have a specific case, with specific parameters and goals. I'm curious as to how/if that will impact the discussion. Of course, at some point, we're going to have to actually pick one to install. In the interests of fairness and actually getting some real work done, I'm thinking it would be best to put a pre-established time limit of a week or two on any such discussion. Pragmatically, I suspect we'll end up going with whatever most people have the most experience with. If the whole thing dissolves into a flame-fest, we (for some definition of "we") can always make the decision by fiat. > 3. Setup a list on the new server about server maintenance Well, a lot of my questions/concerns/etc are about installation. The box will also be physically hosted someplace not easy to get to. So we have a chicken-and-egg problem there. So I'm looking to get some initial discussion about tech stuff before actual deployment of the new server. Eventually, it should be migrated there, of course. > - anybody who changes anything should post to this list the changes and _make > sure they get a copy of the message they just posted_. Good idea, there. Indeed, one of the things I'm most concerned with is coordination between many minds and hands. I know some on -discuss (Derek Martin, Paul Lussier, others) have experience in this area, and I'm hoping they'll have the time and inclination to join in. > *This server ought to be a shining city on a hill for Linux Done Right. > Technologies, apps, security, etc. My thoughts exactly. I'd love for this to create useful material that could be posted on a website. Goals, design, implementation, results, documentation, discussion, all that stuff. Hosted on said server, of course. -- Ben "I wonder how many people will vote for SCO Linux?"
