Not to nag, but are we ever going to move the Confluence space to cwiki.apache.org?
What would be the benefit to us and our users? I'm happy with Confluence and the service from Atlassian. The last time we hosted our wiki with ASF infra, we lost almost all of our links and I think even some of our content was lost. It was down for days, all due to a MoinMoin upgrade.
And, in a similar vein, are we ever going to move out of the com.ibatis namespace? With SVN, we can make these sort of changes without losing history.
We can make the change easily. Our users may not be able to, nor would there be any tangible benefit to them for having to do so. I think we should move to org.apache.ibatis with iBATIS 3, as it will be a significant change anyway. I'm thinking of submitting a JSR to request that people stop using domain names for namespaces in Java...it's stupid. If our namespace was just "ibatis" we wouldn't be having this conversation. ;-) Cheers, Clinton On 3/6/07, Ted Husted <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

There is one odd wrinkle, that the current iBATIS layout already handles well. A key notion is that the Foundation is distributing the software, not the individual committers. Before we release software to the general public, the PMC approves the software on behalf of the Foundation. To close the loop, we should draw a clear line between a PMC-sanctioned release and unreleased software that is not yet fully PMC approved. It's not uncommon for open source sites to glom everything together, so it is not clear where the "general pubilc" site ends and the development site begins, which is not the best approach for a ASF site. In the case of iBATIS, the link categores do draw a clear line, as would a site arranged into "trails" for prototypical visitors. In terms of a face list, the Cayenne space seems nice, and the stylesheet is under SVN. * http://cayenne.apache.org/why-cayenne.html * https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cayenne/site/trunk/tlp-site/src/confluence/auto-export-template.txt Not to nag, but are we ever going to move the Confluence space to cwiki.apache.org? Right now, a lot of ASF projects are exporting the Confluence spaces to HTML, so that the core site is under Confluence too. With the autoexport plugin, the process is transparent and seamless.
