Thanks, Sam. Of course, the related question is, *why* was this service shut down? Was it just that the committers.ini file was out dated and nobody was updating it? If so, perhaps mentioning this periodically on committ...@apache.org would be the right approach rather than just dropping the service. If it's resources, or someone to maintain it, that makes more sense. Perhaps once I have the service running again we can point the DNS record at it again? I find stuff like this really useful in getting a sense of what the larger community is up to. I'd personally like it if it was a Planet of posts that were tagged 'apache', but that's a conversation that we had to death back when the service was started up in the first place. -- Rich Bowen - rbo...@rcbowen.com - @rbowen http://apachecon.com/ - @apachecon
