[Result] - [VOTE] Use a Blog for news

[Danny Angus <da...@apache.org>]

I'm not going to tally the votes, so much discussion, so many 0's and
so much lack of enthusiasm suggests that there isn't enough support
for this and we need to explore other options. Thanks for you time.

This vote is now closed.

Noel,

It would help me if you could (re)state your concerns about ASF 
Confluence for editing content.  I was sharing the discussion to a 
coworker yesterday at lunch and was unable to articulate your position. 
  Here are the dilemmas that my coworker backed me into:

1. Noel wants to use only ASF resources, but does not want to use the 
ASF Confluence resource.

2. Noel demands QoS and well supported ASF resources yet prefers either 
the two alternatives of a one man (Sam) hack or an unproven future ASF 
resource (JRoller) over an existing ASF resource (Confluence) that is 
used by many other projects and used in such a way that it is not 
handling traffic directly.

Can you help me understand how you are viewing it?  I'm not saying you 
have answers to the above questions, but clearly I'm missing some 
assumptions or views that led my coworker to the above contradictions.

I did.  I guess you didn't understand.

Yes, and that probably would have been fine.  You are correct that I just
did not want to expose the foreign URL.  That was my sole problem with your
initial proposal.

Not quote sure I follow, what do you mean "the publishing of the URL."
if its just the URL that bothers people there are ways to deal with
that too.

Actually, I think that there is a lot of enthusiasm for it, and it is just a
matter of details.

I was thinking yesterday on the way to Pittsburgh that the main issue with
your external site isn't the external site (same difference as Sam's, I
suppose), but the publishing of the URL.  If we could scrape it and merge it
into our content, then does it become exactly the same as Sam's approach?
