Use Forrest (Re: Updating all ws project sites to use the mirrored downloads)

[Tetsuya Kitahata <te...@apache.org>]

Hi, Sanjiva, All

Thank you for putting your precious "plus one" to me :-)

I think the standardization of the website build would be important
for us (ws-proj). However, at the same time, we have to think of
the human resources to accomplish the standardizations.

I would love to volunteer to make changes on the current structures of
each (XMLRPC, SOAP, etc.) subprojects to be fit to what the FORREST
requires. Current XMLRPC (and SOAP/WS/wsrp4j..gyaaa Anakia!) members do
not have to think of and master the Apache Forrest itself.
# Also, I will put a page on ws.apache.org about "HOW TO BUILD WEBSITES".
# in the near future.

On the supposition of it described above, what would you all say? :-)
Opinions?

Sincerely,

-- Tetsuya. (tetsuya@apache.org)

Tetsuya,

I will back you up under one condition. You need to get a current committer of say Apache Axis to
start a VOTE for standardizing Axis web site. Then when majority VOTE's ok, then you (and the
committers) for that project can start the process of forrestizing that particular project. This
should NOT be forced from above. For example, you will have my +1 for Apache Axis site when there
is a VOTE in the axis-dev mailing list NOT on the general mailing list. The reason is in the long
run the committers for a project are responsible for the web site of their project.

Thanks,
dims
