The idea that no project should be grandfathered is not one of your stronger arguments. :-) > No one is saying "take it easier on me".

I don't really care about some of them as short term issues, but I don't discard that you do. > I am as interested in making Axion's incubation status clear as you are. > Some sort of "incubation status" notice [or logo] You mean like http://incubator.apache.org/images/apache-incubator-logo.png, along with a well-placed disclaimer like found at http://ws.apache.org/jaxme/ and http://cocoon.apache.org/lenya/? Rodney, I am sympathetic to your build issues. OTOH, there is the branding issue that Tetsuya raised, ironically making the opposite point than he intended. That branding is not as clear when the resources are not in the Incubator, but we have already addressed mailing lists and CVS resources, leaving only the web-site within the domain. For whatever reason, people do seem to notice the domain more clearly than they read the paragraph of boilerplate on the page. You have certain technical issues related to your build process (honestly, temporary page ranking is not something I rate highly in context). Do you have a proposal that would make everyone happy? Would a symlink arrangement help resolve the build and URL issues? For example, you could build and install the site as normal, but .htaccess would redirect HTTP requests to the incubator domain, which would have a link to your file structure. --- Noel --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
