I'm -0 on the proposal for the following reason: what happens when someone places something inappropriate on their website? While I know we're all reasonably sane adults, I've run enough 'community' websites to get fed up with morons complaining about potentially offensive comments one of our users posted. Even worse, when people place infringing code/music/pictures, +1 on having a usage policy. I'd suggest anything not blatantly illegal. I end up being the bad guy shutting the account down. I don't appreciate it when someone does that. (Comments that we don't assume liability for the content doesn't assuage an irate moron - they'll still complain.) Then the people behind [EMAIL PROTECTED] should investigate killfiles.. I don't see this as a strong counterargument. I'm about as a strong proponent of free speech as there is, but this has the propensity to snowball into a bureaucratic nightmare. I'd rather people only have ASF-related stuff on their 'personal' ASF website, or a redirect/link to their 'official' non-ASF site. I'd guess most people don't have a stable place to host a 'personal' website, other than some place like geocities. I don't see how this coincides with the goals of the ASF. It puts a face to otherwise faceless committers, making the community stronger. Alternatively.. Let's abandon all this wishy-washy 'community' guff and focus on what matters: the code. As Coding Machines, I say each new committer be assigned a serial number by which they are addressed publicly. With luck, we can eliminate any trace of this 'individuality' that dilutes the Apache brandname. --CM029476 IMHO, each project (or sub-project) should have a page that lists all frequent contributors with a link to their preferred page (this is what HTTP Server and a few other projects do). For HTTP Server, some people have pictures and (not-so) witty comments on the 'contributors' page. (Note: on infrastructure@, Stephen brought up ASF-wide blogs - my reply was essentially the same as this.) -- justin

Re: [proposal] creation of communitity.apache.org
I would like to propose the creation of such a virtual host so that all apache homepages will be hosted at http://community.apache.org/~name +1, although I would prefer a shorter name like people that was proposed at some time. I've make a dream : http://name.apache.org/ ie: http://remm.apache.org/ http://costin.apache.org/ http://pier.apache.org/ http://acoliver.apache.org/ ;-)

It doesn't matter how you come up with that page/pages as long as it's reasonably valid HTML. That page should be hosted on your "public_html" directory on your cvs.apache.org account (all committers have one, unlike www.apache.org where only a few do) - o - Also, you might want to check out a little project about community visualization using dynamic SVG I've been working on http://www.apache.org/~stefano/community/ note that you need a SVG-capable browser in order to view it in all its splendor. Please, read also the docs that explain what it is and why I wrote it and what it the long-term goal. Please place your vote.
