Hi Matt, Sunish has a nice base to start from: http://jal.sunish.net. Things are quite outdated, but it can give ideas about content, etc... Sunish suggested to use this site to build a common jalv2/jallib/... website, some months ago, as it is discussed today. I think it's been abandoned mainly because there weren't enough people to get involved in this task. If some people here wants to deal with that, great !
As you may have read, this site is Drupal based, so lots of products/modules are already to build a website. If it's ok, we should consider keeping it. Sunish, can we have your input on this ? lets get jal all on one website. I hate using jallist! I wish everyone > could talk on one forum within different topics instead of having this > google group + jallist. By the time we created jallib, we considered using jallist as our mailing list. It appears there are lots of mails about SVN commits, buildbots, etc... which only interest developpers, and would have flood jallib with meaningless content. We decided to go with Google Group, which is great and fully fill our need. If we want to keep jallib group, is it possible to feed a forum with mailing list like this one ? And moving jallist to another list or forum will be a huge task IMHO...
