After reading throught the digest of the discussion on this list and remembering Dossy's statement about "donating a server", I'm more than inclined to ask the OpenACS Core Team to allow the creation of an AOLserver community at openacs.org or host a service on one of our machines. For one, I think using a forum is more user friendly, especially if you only read the digest. Furthermore the file storage would allow us to exchange files and patches without putting them on CVS and/or rely on sourceforge.
On a related note, what is the downside of having an AOLserver stable branch, where only the AOL approved developers have access to and a testing branch where everyone can add their patches to. Needless to mention that from time to time the stable branch needs to be merged with the testing one. As for importance of development, if Dossy is strikt about not letting others participate actively in the core development (read: give them CVS access without the need for one person to accept patches), then the main interest would be to rewrite the modules part of AOLserver to a degree where all the functionality that has been written and needs patches to work can work smoothly as a module. And while we are at it, we could write an Apache Modules wrapper ;-). -- AOLserver - http://www.aolserver.com/ To Remove yourself from this list, simply send an email to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> with the body of "SIGNOFF AOLSERVER" in the email message.
