Re: Who is responsible for JDOCentral.com?

Hi Andy,
I agree that the combination of Apache JDO home site plus JPOX site is most of what JDOCentral provided. 


From the behavior of the web site, the domain is still active but  
refers to an illegal page. This can be fixed (by the domain owner,  
which I believe is still Dirk) to redirect to a new location.



I'd be happy if the new location were on the Apache JDO site which  
would then refer the user to forums (on JPOX), mailing lists (JPOX  
plus JDO plus others on demand), presentations, news, other pages on  
either JPOX or JDO web site.



All the stakeholders have the ability to update the JDO site so this  
seems to be doable with the resources we currently have on board.

Is the JDO vendor community still serious about JDO?
If so, I think they should fund to keep JDOCentral alive...


I'd like to see the same.



So I can understand your requirements better I ask the question  
"JDOCentral

was what exactly ?" To me it was a central point for discussion of a

technology. I would have thought that the logical successor is  
Apache JDO, or

JPOX, or both.

JDOCentral had :-

1. articles about use of JDO. JPOX has tried to provide an  
equivalent in
the "Tutorials & Examples" section of our docs for each release.  
All docs are

marked with what is JDO specific and what is an extension.

2. news about presentations etc.


3. forum for problems/discussions - that became a home to spammers  
for the

final year of its life. Apache JDO has a mailing list for JDO-specific
issues, and JPOX has a forum for real-world use.



I've no problem with putting/moving any JPOX docs that are JDO- 
generic across
on Apache JDO to facilitate a more logical division between  
technology and

implementation.



Perhaps you could define what more you mean with "keep JDOCentral  
alive"?
