I was going to set up a mechanism to auto-update the site from CVS, as we have for several other sites. I was putting this off because we are planning to move to Subversion shortly, so I didn't want to have to do the job twice, iyswim. Please feel free to send a reminder about this to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' so a ticket gets set up and assigned to me so I don't forget, and I'll try to complete this when things are ready and I have a few moments. > Without wanting to appear at all ungrateful for your own hard work, it > seems like we might not have the sysadmin resources to really support > extra web sites.

We do offer these services to those that need them and will always do our best to do as professional a job as possible (as can be expected for spare-time volunteer sysadmins). We obviously can't provide guarantees and service level agreements. > I might decide to use my own hosting account for this, though I'm afraid > of how much bandwidth it could cost me, and other gtkmm developers would > probably prefer not to depend on me either. > This is entirely your decision to make, depending on the needs of your project and the resources available to it. Given the choice between paid-for hosting (with an SLA, support contract etc) and free web hosting on the GNOME servers, I know which I'd choose ;^) -- Ross _______________________________________________ Gnome-infrastructure mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-infrastructure
