[PROPSAL] Support EU Patent Vote Protest
This may well be too late for any form of decision, but I propose that for
the duration of the 27th August 2003 we change the index page of the main
ASF web site to point at a page that states our opposition to the proposal
being voted on and our support for the campaign against it.
The page is currently at http://cvs.apache.org/~gianugo/apache-protest.html
and simply imposes a 60 second delay on viewing the current ASF index page.
The page contains very simple text that is non-inflammatory wordings and
fits nicely with the ASF website look and feel. The page was written by
Gianugo Rabellino gianugo@apache.org

is this just for the 27th, or 27th through 1st? i'm inclined toward
the latter..
some suggestions:
1. sixty seconds isn't long enough for all that text to be read and
assimilated. i think the interval should be made longer, and there
should be some way to reach it in case of 'hey, i wasn't finished!'
or 'what did that say again?' or 'hey, that was in english, and i don't
read english so good'.
2. change 'open source' to 'open software'. on the one hand, defuse any
potential open-source/free-software issues; for another, make it
clear to people reading it exactly what this is about. a lot of people
use our software without knowing or caring that it's open source, or
even what that means. we want to raise their awarenesses, too.
3. it's too late, probably, but multiviewed translated pages would be
an outstanding feature.

Note that users can click through and do not *have* to wait 60 seconds.
