Well, as someone who has been involved in the project for about 10 yrs now...I LIKE your picture, but I wonder how it actually fleshes out given what we have to work with on the Apache site now.
I am going to apply as an Apache contributor and hope I can at least make a few small changes to the current OOo Apache site. Until we get a whole scale site redirect in place vis a vis DNS servers in the great stratosphere (and hopefully this will NOT happen until we've got more ported over -- or maybe not, see below), I think we should start cobbling together what we can. I really don't know what the rules are regarding jumps form the given Apache site to a secondary server, etc. Are you basically suggesting that the "new" site or the new entity follow the areas that you've outlined in your picture? In other words, if OOo does in fact evolve into an Apache project vs what it is now -- a vanilla open source project -- what does that mean in terms of governance and structure. And how does this translate, if at all, to an actual site. I would like to hear more on this. To me, these are kind of separate entities, yet now, in this new environment. We need to learn to retool given the Apache governance process to start with. And then ???? Obviously we need to do a lot more research on this new paradigm.
