Hi,
I own a server with 100Mb where i host some vserver, i could help to
host a back up or any other services for osg related stuff.
About the osg forge, i am not sure i would want it, i explain why:
- more of them has no service for decentralized version control like
mercurial / git
- It constraint you to use specified tools, using source forge is a
pain, it's always slow. when it's down, nothing is available.
- It takes more energy to maintain it, than editing the current wiki
page to reference projects.
In theory the idea is cool but if people dont fill the current wiki why
they will take energy to fill a forge ? And personnally if there is no
support
for git/mercurial i prefer to host the project where i can use those tools.
I think the main problem is to reference project, not to host them Maybe
we just need to improve the reference of project on osg trac or a better
categories...
It's just an opinion
Cheers,
Cedric

Hi folks,
I've offered my (part-time) help in maintaining the OSG site to Jose
Luis in the past, but he said since the server belonged to his school
they would be reluctant to let an "outsider" get access to one of their
servers. Perhaps when the server is moved to a virtual server, this
issue would be less important since the server would be isolated from
their own network, and I could lend a hand.
Guys, if there is a problem with a server, I could also offer one for
particular projects, maybe also for main osg. The same one on which osgForum is
currently running. It is true, that the main osg server has very bad connection
times, at least here at my ISPs ;)
I think getting a distributed infrastructure and letting users register
(both for accounts to edit the wiki and for OSGForge projects) is of
vital importance for OSG's surrounding ecosystem, especially since we
are talking more and more about nodekits being important for OSG 2.x and new API support/tests being important for OSG 3.x.
This was also my main point, which I tried to point out in another thread. The
problem is, that there exists now a lot of nice nodekits, but nodekits, which
are not happy to be included into main core, could not survive in the future,
becasue they just don't get notified by users (yes, I am afraid of osgPPU too
;) )
Hence some kind of other nodekit system is required, so that the users still
get enough information, what happens outside of the main core.
Best regards,
art
