Cloning parts of the Jakarta website will be an interesting challenge. The cross-project Jakarta site uses a different technique for generation and deployment from the HttpComponents pages. We might keep two separate techniques, or try to convert the Jakarta sites we take to the plain Maven2 gen&deploy. > I'd suggest something short like 'hc' or even 'httpc' (though that's > probably a bit too close to httpd? <grin/>) and then an alias of the > full name 'httpcomponents'; Or "https"... aaargh ;-) Let's go with 'hc' until we're stopped. The alias is a good idea. Paul, we can keep "httpcomponents" in the path names. Currently it appears twice in the paths for the individual componets. Getting that down to one with a short domain name will make the URLs more convenient without scarificing the project association: http://jakarta.apache.org/httpcomponents/httpcomponents-core/index.html http://jakarta.apache.org/httpcomponents/httpcomponents-client/index.html http://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-core/index.html http://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client/index.html >> http-user@ - from [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > -users or -user? The former seems to be more common.

I'll be travelling again and will reduce mailing list activity to the bare minimum while abroad. I'll keep an eye on this list via public archives, but will post only rarely here and not at all on the user list. > The first things we should decide on: domain name (plus accompanying > unix group name) See above, I hope we can get 'hc' for the domain name.

I'm afraid Mike has joined them, too. So let's just take the PMC members to seed the groups. > I hope to get a rough overview / schedule up on the wiki tonight - > suggestions, ideas, missing points very welcome :-) Again: many, many thanks! cheers, Roland --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
