I was pretty sure that I recalled this whole debate from a year ago, so I checked. It was related to creating [community|people].apache.org. You might be shocked to hear that the thread consumes more than 5% of the entire community@ archives. That surprised me, too. The majority is in http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/[EMAIL PROTECTED]& from=316252&to=316252&count=169&by=thread&paged=false, plus http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/[EMAIL PROTECTED]&msg No=873. Justin expressed his concerns in http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/[EMAIL PROTECTED]&msg No=805, in a reply to Nicola Ken, who in turn had said that he though it was OK because "I don't think we are talking about complete personal websites with blogs and such, with rants and honeymoon pictures, but about some pages that explain what the person does, who he is, and not much more." Justin later made a proposal about what he did think was acceptable: http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/[EMAIL PROTECTED]&msg No=808. My earlier comments came from what I recalled as the consensus from that discussion. The gist of it was that having relatively bland and ASF specific content on an ASF page was fine, and that people should use external URLs to reference their more personal content, which is what the Wiki has: a list of external URLs. That was the compromise. In any event, opinions may change, but I did remember us going over this territory 13 months ago. Should I apologize for having a good memory? ;-) When Thom suggested planetapache.org on IRC, I was +1 for the idea, since that doesn't appear to conflict with the concerns that were raised a year ago. In fact, if everyone who didn't want truly personal content on an apache.org domain last year is happy that planetapache.org is sufficiently disjoint then, as far as I'm concerned, it could even host personal pages, rather than just aggregate. --- Noel --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
