Hi Rob,

Right, OK, but again, where will this and many other ancillary
openoffice.org sites (like the forums etc.) actually live?
The goal would be to have then continue at www.openoffice.org.

Yes, I know about this and have contributed to this but it doesn't
really
answer my question...where do we go?
If my answer still doesn't make sense, maybe you can try restating
your question. I might be answering a different question than you are
asking.
I think, Kay is asking for the "physical" solution. Means:
- who will be the owner of the website
- who will pay for the servers and bandwith
- who will be the admin of the servers
What seems to be unclear is, if Apache foundation will host content which is
not directly under a *.apache.org domain.
We are expecting to move most of this as possible over to ASF Hardware.
The forums, the mediawiki wiki, the websites (most of the kenai stuff) we should
start moving over soon.
I think we are just waiting perhaps on someone at Oracle to say to ASF that yes
you can
take all of our forums and wiki and get on with hosting it.
I'm working on getting to that exact statement. There is certainly
nothing stopping us from staging the servers and setting up the transition.
Once that infrastructure is in place for the Forums and Wiki - I think
we can do the transfer at the DNS level pretty quickly.
I'm still waiting on a response, in terms of guidance on where Oracle
stands in terms of ownership/transfer of the content.
That said, a transfer of the hosting of the services in their current
form looks like the best viable option at this point.
