Web hosting of Jini.org was:Re: Jini.org and mailing list

[Peter Firmstone <ji...@zeus.net.au>]

We've had enough volunteers willing to pay for web hosting of jini.org, 
all we need now, is info from Jim Hurley on how to make a contribution.

Jim?

Cheers,

Peter.

[Jeff Ramsdale <je...@gmail.com>]

Probably not. It's harder to come by Java hosting and it's generally more
expensive. I've also dabbled in Liferay administration and wouldn't want to
commit to that. Liferay's wiki is also not as powerful as MediaWiki's,
though I found it passable.

Hi all,
I have other idea, is possible to change the wiki for a Liferay by example?

Best regards,

Re: Web hosting of Jini.org was:Re: Jini.org and mailing list

[Jeff Ramsdale <je...@gmail.com>]

I have one other suggestion to offer before we make a move. The current
jini.org site is a MediaWiki site. Sourceforge now provides MediaWiki to
projects hosted there (
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sourceforge/wiki/Hosted%20Apps). Would it
make sense to move to Sourceforge (including old starter kit downloads) and
point jini.org there? One advantage is that the sf folks manage the app,
which would hopefully reduce some of the spam problems we've had. Since this
wouldn't be a standard open source project with code releases (since these
are handled by Apache River) I'm not certain if it makes sense nor if it
would be acceptable to sf, but I thought it was worth asking...
