I thought that i would try to update the "hosting.xml" page before the upcoming release. I searched the cocoon-users email archive via MARC and added some recent changes.
However, then i started to get confused. There seemed to be requests for modifications to non-existent entries. I did some digging in the various CVS Attic directories. It appears that when hosting.xml started into Cocoon2 CVS, only a few entries were carried over from Cocoon 1. Those sites were only offering Cocoon 1 hosting and many still say so in the current hosting.xml page. This led me to believe that the new page was the only relevant page and that the old C1 page was not being maintained (now i am not sure). Does anyone remember why this happened? Perhaps there was some legitimate reason. Anyway, i think that we now need some clear guidelines as to the purpose of the current hosting.xml page. Here are some issues that i can see ... 1) Should the C2 hosting page continue to try to specify whether they provide C2 or C1 services? We could just not say and leave it up to the user to enquire by contacting the relevant provider. 2) How do we get the relevant sites from C1 hosting page onto the C2 hosting page? Some sites are probably not relevant anymore. However some will want to be there and probably do not understand why they were not copied over. 3) Should we continue to maintain the C1 page or should we simply remove all entries and point to the C2 page, or should we just add a notice that it is not going to be maintained? I propose a simple solution ... Tidy up the current C2 hosting page, then send a message to cocoon-users saying that the old page is not being maintained and ask if anyone else wants to be copied over. This supposedly quick job has turned into a nightmare! --David --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
