In total fairness to Lenya, the first paragraph of their home page talks about incubation. However, I agree as a policy matter that the site should be moved, with a redirect put in place, as described below. After a project leaves the incubator, a redirect can be put in the incubator's .htaccess to reference its new location. To demonstrate the technique, and further illustrating why web-sites should be maintained in CVS (as Lenya's is :-)), I just issued the following command: cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/cvspublic \ checkout -d lenya cocoon-site/site/lenya from /www/incubator.apache.org. You will notice that a copy of the lenya site is now at http://incubator.apache.org/lenya. All that is left for the Cocoon project to do now is to place: Redirect Permanent /lenya http://incubator.apache.org/lenya in .htaccess in their site root, and the location change should be transparent to all. I won't do that, though. That is a change for them to make. When the lenya site is updated, someone just needs to do: cd /www/incubator.apache.org/lenya cvs update -Pd rather than doing the exact same thing in /www/cocoon.apache.org/lenya. The process is simple, and should not be disruptive to their progress at all. It is actually rather cool that things can be this simple. --- Noel cc: lenya-dev@ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
