Yeah.. I'm confused...what does ANY of the issues brought up have to do
with creating the dns entry? It seems some folks are voting/debating
the home directories themselves. Those are already there and I assume
that decision was already made. I suppose you could propose they be
shut down, but I DON'T see what creating the DNS entry has to do with
that... But I'm kinda dull, so maybe if someone explains it, I'll get it.

Uh, thanks Ben. That helped a lot understanding the reasons behind
your negative vote.
Several things were put on the table:
1) potential non-asf-ralated material
2) content imposition
3) fact -> vote
4) -1 without reason
5) automatic redirection breaks existing content
6) people.apache.org
I'll reply to all of these in this message for brevity:
1) we already have committers homepages. so either we close those
down, or I don't see any reason for people starting to misbehave from
this point on. my proposal is just bring coherence to something that
grew out by itself.
2) my proposal contained 'suggestions' and there would be no way for
anybody to force somebody to adhere to some standard. I perfectly know
that all of us are lazy butts and I know all of us become overly
defensive when things are 'imposed'.
But there is no imposition on a suggestion.
3) read how the title starts. "proposal" means "let's start a
discussion" and "place your vote" means "tell me what you think,
honest". It might sound a little arrogant to some, but I much rather
prefer to cut the crap and get things done. Since this proposal will
impact all committers, I wanted to hear what everybody here perceived
it and so I started a proposal.
Again, I don't see the need to become defensive.
4) as a rule on the development communities where I happen to hang
around, a -1 without a reason can be ignored without a reason.
Being this a much wider community, I much rather ask the *reason* why
I negative vote has been placed without a reason. Ben, your turn.
5) automatic redirection was proposed a way to unify URI spaces of the
current homepages. Since no content will be imposed (everybody can
have whatever they want on their pages), I don't see why this should
be a problem
6) since this list is the mail list representation of that web site, I
thought that community.apache.org was a better name since it matches
the mail list one.
Your turn, people.
