External References of an Apache Directory project

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hi all

As I haven't found anything matching I started a new entry to keep the 
external references of AD projects we have and which may need updates 
from time to time.
Hope it's the right place.

Regards
Felix

Ok, sorry, I have a slow brain tose days ;)

Make perfect sense. Then it deserves to be put in the DEV wiki, as you 
did, under the "Releases process" page. This is a kind of announcement, 
so far.

Thanks Felix !

I try to explain in other words what I have in mind:

We let promote our product by a third party (i.e. eclipse). We could 
also try to get listed at http://www.eclipseplugincentral.com/ or where 
ever. They are so kind to put our product in their list and we hope that 
it gets more popular. But I think it's up to us to inform them when our 
product has been updated or any new information needs to be put to this 
list. It's up to us to inform them because I don't think they spend 
their time to crawl all their listed stuff to see if something has changed.

My idea was to have a list about where we have promoted our product(s) 
and how to inform the third party that our product has changed and 
the'll kindly need to update their list.

Sorry, I think I missed the initial idea (and I also don't really get 
what you have in mind - language impedance mismatch, ;). Here are some 
proposals to clarify the different cases (I hope I don't forget any of 
them, and this list reflect my vision, feel free to share yours !)

 - Do we want to refer the other ASF projects we use ? --> Resources
 - Do we want to link to external projects/tools we use ? --> Community 
-> Thanks
 - Do we want to mention the other ASF projects using ADS ? --> Testimonies
 - Do we want to list places linking to our project ? --> Testimonies

btw, I thing Testimonies is not really a perfect name. Would be better 
to be renamed to 'Testimonies & References".

wdyt ?

I'm not sure if it is really the same. It's not a resource IMO but a 
reminder for developers where an Apache Directory project is link from 
and where a potential need exists to update links/summaries. Under 
resources I'd expect to get additional information about a project what 
is not really the case. OTH it's more obvious for developers that a need 
for update may exists and - of course - you may find other helpfull 
applications following the given links (as not only  Apache Directory 
projects may be listet on the linked sites).

So it depends on the intention of the 'Resources' section, which I'm not 
up to date.

I think it would be slightly better to add a new entry in the left menu, 
under 'Resources', something like 'Usefull links'

wdyt ?
