Hi. If you read "How it works", Labs makes the following available:
- a zone - a virtual host (http://labs.apache.org/) - three mailing lists: - labs@labs.apache.org - comm...@labs.apache.org (this receives the svn commits diffs) - priv...@labs.apache.org - a lab registry (a collection of machine-readable descriptors) As far as I can see. - there are no zone - there are not virtual host - the lab registry is merely a directory in svn I hereby propose the following: 1) We remove the mention of zone from the home page 2) We request a labs vm from infra (if the PMC request it with a jira, I can make it) 3) We change the homepage to actively use the lab registry (see seperate proposal). --- details --- The vm should be equipped with a generic db and httpd and of course svn allowing labs PI to test their ideas. Labs PI and registred committers should have access to the vm (NOT sudo). It might be that no labs need it today, but its marketing, we offer more than other sandboxes. I volunteer to maintain the vm (together with all the others I maintain as part of infra) and also to help labs in need of installing sw. Rgds jan I.
