Peter,

Do you realize that I'm not disagreeing with you?  I simply pointed out, as
a precaution against oversight, that there are some items that need to be
moved.

I suspect that the correct place to discuss the issue with the ASF would be
in infrastructure@.  From a recent discussion there, it appears that there
are certain topics, e.g., site security, that they do not want discussed in
a publicly archived list.

Not from what I had in mind, Peter.  In my model, we automatically generate
james-site from sources in our repository.  A cron task would update its
local tree from james, build james-site, and commit james-site as necessary.
None of us would ever need to manually update james-site.  james-site would
be nothing more than the interface between the cron job and the web site.

To an extent, I don't care, since we can reconstruct the site from our
source CVS.  I mention this approach simply because it appears to be used
elsewhere in the ASF, and it addresses what I perceive to be an
infrastructure concern.
