+1 just re-host it, do whatever verification/adjustment is needed before the DNS switcheroo happens, then continue with clean up and any further migration afterwards. I see no reason to have all of it on Apache SVN or convert the PHPBB or MediaWiki to anything else in the short term.

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. Andrew > > Gav... > >> André >> >
