I like that.
Me too - and something I really like is that this happening in
conjunction with the Incubator, Apache commons, etc. This makes it
much easier for the Avalon PMC to pull in support from other places
and deal constructively will the migration and reorganization process .
The only concern left you shold define first the set of projects under
the avalon pmc umbrella so you're going to be legally binded only to
those projects. If you sign in for projects that will be moved to
different pmcs things could get slightly more complicated, not
impossible but...
would it be possible to have a PMC without moving URL? I know you
don't probally care so much for the domain name but stating that
would quite help at least for the infostructure guys.
Its already been made clear that we can maintain all of the existing
URLs (comments from Jakarta and Board members) . We don't want to
break anything (code or web links) used by our user community - but
there is somethinig new emerging - but that's about a "united avalon"
identity - which comes back to the PMCs initatial work on charter etc.
what I meant is things should stay in jakarta.apache.org and *only*
there. I don't think different domain is a good idea. Mainly because
what you're doing here should apply to *all* apache projects and that's
just too many names.
On the infrastructure side - are you involved in that at all ?
I have friends... :-)
Cheers, Steve.
