Yes. I would like to move ahead with using wordpress to host

What would you like to do? You've made some proposals. You've gotten

As far as I'm aware, no one else has volunteered to make any of the
alternative ideas happen (right?), so the ball is in your court.
Please let us know what you propose to do, if anything. Do you
It seems like we're going full circle here.
I am not at all 'set' on using wordpress, I just thought it would fit
the need of being easy to update and provide a custom URL: watir.com.
If we just want to redirect watir.com to
http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Project+Home
then that suits me,

Both options look great - good work! Personally, I prefer the newer

I haven't exactly decided to move forward with the wordpress idea, it
still doesn't address the problem of having information on multiple

I don't believe we should separate wiki and issues/bugs, as if we

Well personally I like the 01 site a bit better..
That being said, I did like the 'watir buzz' section on the first
one, and it would be neat to see something like that incorporated into
the 01 page.

Let me chime in by trying to restate the problem and why this idea got
started in the first place.
1. The current home page for Watir (at wtr.rubyforge.com) is hard for
the community to update. It is a webgen-based website, stored with the
Watir code base. Any one with commit rights to Watir
Thanks for that Bret, it makes it a lot clearer.
Would I be correct to presume that given the current options you

longer a concern that they will go 'all things Selenium' on us and
we'll be forced to suddenly move on short notice?

Alister's design on the wordpress instance looks good. I'd definitely pin

Hi Alistair,
With lack of a better alternative - wordpress - or any blog - is a
pain for the user searching for structured information.
Do you think 37signals would sponsor project space in thier basecamp.
would that meet the requirements??

Hello Alister,
I particularly host my websites and SVN server on Dreamhost.com.
They have a nice control panel to create and configure a lot of stuff,
including SVN and Wordpress.
Unfortunately, you guys seem to NEED Confluence and Jira, and they don't
host J2EE applications on the $5.95/month
