http://db.apache.org/jdo/jdocentral.html is live now, so the redirection
can be done any time.

I've discussed this with Dirk, who is willing to redirect the
jdocentral.com URL to an Apache JDO URL.
So, where do we want to redirect it?
db.apache.org/jdo
db.apache.org/jdo/jdocentral.html
The real question is whether we want to have a dedicated landing zone
that we know is from people asking for jdocentral, or simply land on
the main page. I haven't thought too much about this; suggestions
welcome.

I would be happy to update the web site if people provide the
material. As Craig and Andy have suggested, we can add links or pages
to Community/Documentation and we can add to Community/Mailing Lists.
BTW, the Implementations page http://db.apache.org/jdo/impls.html was
based on material from JDOCentral.

Hi Andy,
I agree that the combination of Apache JDO home site plus JPOX site
is most of what JDOCentral provided.
From the behavior of the web site, the domain is still active but
refers to an illegal page. This can be fixed (by the domain owner,
which I believe is still Dirk) to redirect to a new location.
I'd be happy if the new location were on the Apache JDO site which
would then refer the user to forums (on JPOX), mailing lists (JPOX
plus JDO plus others on demand), presentations, news, other pages on
either JPOX or JDO web site.
All the stakeholders have the ability to update the JDO site so this
seems to be doable with the resources we currently have on board.

Is the JDO vendor community still serious about JDO?
If so, I think they should fund to keep JDOCentral alive...
I'd like to see the same.
So I can understand your requirements better I ask the question
"JDOCentral
was what exactly ?" To me it was a central point for discussion of a
technology. I would have thought that the logical successor is
Apache JDO, or
JPOX, or both.
JDOCentral had :-
1. articles about use of JDO. JPOX has tried to provide an
equivalent in
the "Tutorials & Examples" section of our docs for each release.
All docs are
marked with what is JDO specific and what is an extension.
2. news about presentations etc.
3. forum for problems/discussions - that became a home to spammers
for the
final year of its life. Apache JDO has a mailing list for JDO-specific
issues, and JPOX has a forum for real-world use.
I've no problem with putting/moving any JPOX docs that are
JDO-generic across
on Apache JDO to facilitate a more logical division between
technology and
implementation.
Perhaps you could define what more you mean with "keep JDOCentral
alive"?
