 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 
Bugzilla?

 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)
Flashblock, xSidebar, Console2, Tagzilla.

 2. which features are you _actively_ using. Don't list everything you have 
 applied 
 for, just what is absolutely essential.
Downloads
CVS (I could migrate to Mercurial or SVN if necessary)
Bugzilla
I could live without the mailing lists and newsgroups (except for say
project-owners for coordination and discussions like this one).

 3. would you be interested in helping with the migration?
Sure! Assuming I know how to do stuff which I probably don't.

Phil
