hey...
As you know, we are approaching Phase 1 of the website transition:
making the new authentication and authorization application live. The
current target for Phase 1 is late June. Then we plan to roll into Phase
2 with the migration of the site's content to XWiki in late August.
During the period between the two phases, the existing site will use the
new Auth system. Leaders of communities, projects, and user groups will
be able to add/delete users, create new repositories, and provide access
to repositories and web pages as before. Some actions will be performed
using the new Auth system, and documentation related to those actions
will be available.
However, during the interim period, we will not be able to support the
creation of new communities, projects, and user groups on the site. The
technical difficulties involved preclude being able to support this
activity during this period. Fortunately, very few new groups are being
created on the site at present, so it shouldn't be too much of an
inconvenience for the majority of the community. For those of you who
might be inconvenienced, we certainly apologize and we ask for your
patience as we enter a complicated transition period.
If you were thinking of opening a new project, community, or user group
this summer, please get your proposal approved and a request to the
project-setup list now. The deadline for new group requests to the
project-setup list is June 15th, and the moratorium on creating new
groups will run until the end of August when we move to XWiki. Note that
this moratorium will not affect the creation of new Mailman lists.
Thanks ...
Jim
