+1. Sounds acceptable to me.

Hi,
There are two groups that I've been talking with about
synchronization: Sun and Redhat.
The pull style synchronization that we do they will not allow. Their
IT people will not give us access to their machines. For Sun I've
been talking Russ Tremain of the JBI project there and he's
organization talking to the rest of the folks there including
Kohsuke. Russ would absolutely love to be able to push to us because
the politics and busy work that must be done to get diskspace is
absurd. He doesn't want to use SVN (as most of their projects don't
yet anyway) but would like a directory they can push to.
Redhat would also be fine with this. I've been talking to Bob and if
they could push to a location then that would be acceptable.
So what I would propose is to have accounts on the central machine
where Redhat and Sun can push to at their leisure, and then we will
pull from these accounts as if they were external repositories just
like we do with anyone else.
I am not concerned about giving their IT people the key to our
machine and as long as they are in isolated accounts they can't do
any damage.
Anyone opposed to me starting work on this. It means we'll actually
get Sun artifacts (finally!) and get the ball rolling with JBoss
which would be good.
Thanks,
Jason
