Dear Project Owners at Mozdev.org,
you may have noticed the most recent outage of the mozdev.org web sites and Babelzilla
database [all mozdev sites were down over the Christmas Holidays], apparently this is
caused by mozdev.org still being hosted on a dedicated box which is now over ten years
old. In order to go forward we would like to re-host all mozdev sites and related data
into a different platform, the site host osuosl.org suggested to migrate to a Virtual
Machine in their hosting clusters.
This begs the question on how many people are still actively using Mozdev.org to
develop and publish their projects and what features would be needed minimally. We
also need to assess how much space would be minimally required to migrate all
necessary data.
To me personally, web sites with svn upload and the Babezilla database to manage bugs
and feature requests are the essential features. I used to use mailing lists but since
the majority of incoming mails was spam I switched to direct personal support, which
is manageable and much easier to maintain.
Can you please reply to the owner list on the list with the following
information
1. your project name(s)
2. which features are you _actively_ using. Don't list everything you have applied
for, just what is absolutely essential.
3. would you be interested in helping with the migration?
thanks,
Axel
