Since there are so many ASF projects, launching new infrastructure initiatives can be difficult. Infrastructure wants everything to scale, so that everyone can use it. We also want to be sure that there are volunteers with the interest and ability to keep the product up and running.
To get products like JIRA and Confluence, projects had to "vote with their feet" and host the resources elsewhere first. Once there was a working proof of utility and interest, someone with enough karma was able to setup the project on an ASF machine. It would be great to have some Jive forums setup, like the one Open Symphony has for Struts. * http://forums.opensymphony.com/forum.jspa?forumID=34 But, we'd probably have more luck getting Contegix to set it up for other ASF projects than our own infrastructure team. (Which is part of the problem, infrastructure a fuzzy "team" and not an actual ASF project.) Jive does have an open source licensing plan. * http://www.jivesoftware.com/products/forums/resources/opensource.jsp It's just a matter of finding a place to set it up until we can convince infrastructure that it's a Good Thing.
