Hi Yoav !

Hi,
Technically, we can host this on jakarta.apache.org/tomcat.  The network
traffic numbers you quote would be a tiny fraction of what our servers
receive.  However:

- You won't have direct write access to the docs: you'll have to send a
message to tomcat-dev.  Someone (most likely me ;)) would read and apply
your changes ASAP, but it will sometimes take a day or two.



No problems here !

- Technically speaking, you give up ownership of the docs and they
become property of the ASF.  Of course your credits remain (e.g. the
"Prepared By Pascal Chong" line with a link to your email address) as
they are, but things like links to your resume are dropped ;).



I have no issue with this also. Anyway, my resume has become a liability in my local context, because I get rejection letters that say I'm over-qualified. ;)

- We usually don't do this. We're happy to add links to external
resources (for example, I also help with log4j's doc page,
http://logging.apache.org/log4j/docs/documentation.html, which has
numerous links to external articles). I'll be happy to add an external
resources page, and link to your site. That way we avoid the above two
issues.


I can't afford to keep my site running, if the traffic continues to trend upwards. And I understand that this is rather unorthodox, so I really appreciate your effort !

- In the cases where we have done this (e.g.
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-3.3-doc/tomcat-iis-howto.html),
it's one simple page.  Your docs are much more complex in structure,
content, and style.  They really deserve to be their own website ;)



Thanks Yoav ! Because of my early problems (oops -- learning curve) with Tomcat, I thought that a tutorial was something that newbies would appreciate. That's why I structured my document the way I did. I realize that actually works against me right now. But I really appreciate your quick response on this! Thanks for your thoughts ! And I will wait for others to respond on this.
