Hi all,

I need to do some requests to infrastructure to get things set up for us
as a new TLP.  (I'll probably do the setting up, but we need to
formalise into [EMAIL PROTECTED])

First however, I got some push back from the ASF members on the name.
On two fronts - will people be able to pronounce it and it sounds a bit
like a place a project goes when it dies.

Personally I'm completely happy with the name, I like it and I'd like to
stick with it.  But we can change it if we want to (requires a  board
resolution but that's a formality).  So I thought I'd throw it to the list.

Thoughts?  I say stick with it, but tell me what your thoughts are.

Further

- Do we want our own web site?  (santuario.apache.org presuming we stick
with the name?)  I say why not :>.  But we need to then decide what we
want to do about content!  In the first instance we can simply move the
current contet.
- Do we want to move the mailing lists to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 I can set it up so the old mailing list addresses simply forward to the
new, so it's reasonably low impact on everyone in the first instance.

We *do* need to set up a PMC mailing list - I'll get that organised once
I have a feel for what people want to do about the name.

Cheers,
        Berin
