Hi, Technically, we can host this on jakarta.apache.org/tomcat. The network traffic numbers you quote would be a tiny fraction of what our servers receive. However:
- You won't have direct write access to the docs: you'll have to send a message to tomcat-dev. Someone (most likely me ;)) would read and apply your changes ASAP, but it will sometimes take a day or two. - Technically speaking, you give up ownership of the docs and they become property of the ASF. Of course your credits remain (e.g. the "Prepared By Pascal Chong" line with a link to your email address) as they are, but things like links to your resume are dropped ;). - We usually don't do this. We're happy to add links to external resources (for example, I also help with log4j's doc page, http://logging.apache.org/log4j/docs/documentation.html, which has numerous links to external articles). I'll be happy to add an external resources page, and link to your site. That way we avoid the above two issues. - In the cases where we have done this (e.g. http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-3.3-doc/tomcat-iis-howto.html), it's one simple page. Your docs are much more complex in structure, content, and style. They really deserve to be their own website ;) So I don't know. Let's see if other people have an opinion.
