Hi folks, Short version: As per the title, I'd like to vote on moving the website bits to a Git repo, specifically "qpid-site".
Further info: The site is one of the single largest groups of stuff we have, both with regard to its previous release content and for the additions of various new releases as they occur. That's in terms of both overall file size and especially the overall number of files. On the latter point, this makes using Subversion particularly slow; for example it took well over 30mins just to check in the website updates I made yesterday. I literally had to leave and come back later because it took so long. Support for Git based sites have been offered by infra for some time now [1]. Things work in essentially the same manner to our current Subversion based site, whereby upon checkin the 'content' bits then get published to the web servers. The only real difference is that the site stuff must exist in the 'asf-site' branch of a particular git repo, either the same one as general code or just a dedicated separate repo. In our case a dedicated repo seems to makes the most sense, and again it seems to be what various other projects do (even the otherwise single-repo projects).
