Hi Tim,

thanks for offering your help. I created a hosting request: 
https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/HOSTING-1015

I also think that the chart could be improved. For example I'd like to get 
rid of all the XML configuration options. They've been added at a time when 
JCasC did not exist. With JCasC support now I would prefer to offer only a 
single configuration option and configuration as code would be cleaner from 
my point of view. I think keeping XML configuration made it easier for 
people to do a transition, but removing them would make maintenance easier 
and also help the user which option to choose.

Regards
Torsten
