 You can download it from:

 Untar and check the README for further instructions.

I'll gently prod that this would be *really* nice to deploy - even as
a placeholder while you add even more content.  =)  -- justin

The only links that you should really trust are under the Get Involved 
meun heading. There is likely all sorts of incorrect or missing content. 
This is only intended as a rough demonstration.


If we decide this is the route we want to take I'll commit the files to 
my svn sandbox and we can get to work on the content.

The mod_python site never bothered me until I saw this. Good work, Jim!

The easy access to JIRA is definitely welcome.

 The underlying html from httdp.apache.org makes heavy use of tables for

You realize that httpd.apache.org is auto-generated from XML through
Velocity templates, right?  The XML source is here (see the xdocs
directory):

No, I was not aware that it is auto-generated, but I'm hardly suprised.

 So we would have our own httpd instance in the zone, right?

infra@ allocates zones to a PMC.  So, you'd have to 'share' the server
with the rest of the httpd PMC.  But, I'm sure we can work something
out.  -- justin

 Could we run mod_python on apache.org's site, like, say, the current

 We could ask again, but last time the answer was no, and I tend to
 agree. But I also understand that we have Solaris servers on which zones
 can be created where we could run our own httpd.
 
 But it always comes back to the same point - running a nice website
 takes a lot of time and effort (possibly more than it takes to actually
 develop mod_python), and until there is someone ready to create and
 maintain content and run the site and the code on it, there is no point
 in going there.
