Please note that OW and the .org website existed in some form prior to Incubation (as with many sites/processes, etc. surrounding the project) and we are trying to get everything working as Apache expects, at the earliest in our incubation. A primary reason for moving cautiously is that lose any of the hard-earned followers/users by shutting off domains without a smooth transition plan.
Also, note we have donated multiple domain names associated with openwhisk to Apache, if we do not (or cannot use them) then they can be allowed to expire. Then the question morphs into... how do we setup a server to host the generated (Jekyll) website from our code repositories; currently, this done by GitHub directly (using GitHUb pages feature; as described in https://pages.github.com/) ? <or> is it acceptable for us to simply use the http://openwhisk.incubator.apache.org/ domain (instead of openwhisk.org) within GitHub (pages feature) as the publishing destination (i.e., GitHub hosts out of the code repo. directly (very efficient)? Regardless, we have to figure out how we forward people who have bookmarked the .org site since Feb. 2016.

You are required to have a web site openwhisk.incubator.apache.org for the developers of Apache OpenWhisk (Incubating). You may choose to have the same web site for users and devs, but there must be a site for people wishing to contribute to the project, and it must adhere to the general web site guidelines. openwhisk.org is not hosted/owned by the ASF and violates just about every incubator policy out there - we will not be pointing to that until those issues have been fixed. > > Kind regards, > Matt > > >
