Andy, I believe one of the strengths of VCL is in its ability to manage software license issues and use roles to manage who has access to what. Is this something that should be included or should we save that for a later and longer description further down the page. Mark On Fri, May 18, 2012 at

As for the website, I agree that some design work would be really useful. I am assuming that ASF would provide a hosting arrangement, i.e. a domain like vcl.apache.org? Would that also include server space to run any type of CMS? Confluence is a nice all-in-one package, though if you are

Hi Mike, This is great. Thank you, thank you, thank you So the next steps (I think) are for you to file your ICLA. Then we can discuss how we want the documentation and website to go. Confluence is our current wiki, but that is fading. So we may want to take this time to request a new CMS
