[I am starting a new thread, although this is in response to threads by Mike Scott and David B. Teague]
Over time, there will be more information on the project site, <http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/> and the Apache ooo project Community Wiki at <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/>. At the moment, there is no information on the OpenOffice.org site preservation/migration. We need to have more there. MIGRATION OF LISTS 1. There is a desire to have fewer lists on the Apache ooo project site (@i.a.o). 2. For those lists on the current, live OpenOffice.org site (@OO.o), we recommend retiring those lists *that* *have* *counterparts* on the @i.a.o project site. (1-2) have to do with lists for the Apache ooo project. There are now [email protected], [email protected], and [email protected] (commit messages from the project SVN repository) 3. The future disposition of all current @OO.o list archives and of lists that do not have suitable counterparts at @i.a.o is to-be-determined. GENERAL PRESERVATION/MIGRATION OF @OO.o 3. It is not definite what will happen with @OO.o in the future, although the Apache Software Foundation is being given possession of the OO.o domain names. The extent to which the form and content of an operating @Oo.o site will be preserved and adjusted to tie to development @i.a.o is not worked out. Further migration beyond any initial cut-over is also to-be-determined. 4. Although preservation and gradual migration of static content is technically straightforward, there is more difficulty with dynamic and interactive services: wikis, issue trackers, forums, mailing lists and their archive interfaces, mail forwarding and registrations, administrative functions, and more I probably have missed. ISSUE TRACKER MIGRATION COMPLETED 5. The bugzilla has been migrated and we have confirmed that the history has been preserved. The bugzilla at OO.o has been made read-only. Instructions on how to sign up on the migrated bugzilla at <https://issues.apache.org/ooo/> will be posted to lists on oo.o. (I have volunteered to do that. It will happen today.) FORUM AND WIKI MIGRATION UNDER TEST 6. Migration of the forums and the wiki is underway. This is being done on test servers to confirm that the content is preserved and the services are operating properly. Cutting over to the new hostings for the wiki and forums is not defined yet. We don't know for certain whether we will come up in place of the current ones or provide a period of parallel operation, perhaps with the current ones frozen in read-only state. Administrative changes and possible need for users to re-register are also not resolved. My impression is that we need to engage more discussion at OO.o on how this is progressing, what staging options are, and how to minimize disruption. MISSING PIECES 7. For anything I haven't mentioned, it is likely that we have no determination at this point. One major concern is the availability of volunteers to handle preservation and maintenance of mailing lists, especially for native-language support. It appears that OO.o is already short-handed in that regard, and we seem to have fewer available among those contributors on the Apache ooo project. We need to work together to remedy that. -----Original Message----- From: Mike Scott [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, September 03, 2011 08:13 To: [email protected] Subject: fate of OOo list archives On 03/09/11 16:08, David B Teague sr wrote: > On 9/3/2011 3:10 AM, Mike Scott wrote: >> On 03/09/2011 01:49, Rob Weir wrote: >> .... >>> If you want more details on how the users list will work, I'd >>> recommend you start a thread over there, since this openoffice.org >>> list is soon going to disappear.

Better placed here, perhaps. So, will the old OOo list archives be kept or lost, please? -- Mike Scott Harlow, Essex, England --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] For additional commands send email to [email protected] with Subject: help
