[Fwd: Status of XML and Apache Mirrors]

[Berin Lautenbach <be...@ozemail.com.au>]

Well we are nearly there.

Batik is done and AxKit is (I think) in progress.

So only AxKit and Xerces-P are still in the dist directory.

I've therefore enabled the mirrors page from the download link on the 
sidebar.  I've added AxKit and Xerces-P to the page - I just put the 
links to the xml.apache.org/dist directory rather than the mirrors.

Let me know if there are any problems.

Cheers,
	Berin

Peoples,

OK, Tetsuya posed the question yesterday "where are we".

Thanks for the prompt!

I have updated the mirror page with binary downloads as per Jeff's
suggestion.

The projects that were left were :

xerces-j 	- DONE (I think?  Anyway I have added to cgi page :>)
xerces-p 	- NOT DONE
xalan-j		- IN PROGRESS
batik		- NOT DONE
commons		- DONE
axKit		- NOT DONE

So, no movement (I think?) on Xerces-P, Batik or AxKit.  Is anyone
willing to take on?

I am going to add one more link to the mirrors.cgi page, to point to the
old download directory for those projects not yet converted, and then I
will publish.

BTW - Have also added an ApacheCon logo to the front page.

Cheers,
	Berin

Peoples,

The general xml.apache.org mirrors page I think is pretty much done.
Many thanks to Jeff for his (very patient :>) assistance with Forrest
and to Vadim and others for their suggestions for changes.

http://xml.apache.org/mirrors.cgi

Let me know any other updates you want.  If I hear nothing I will link
on the sidebar in place of the old Downloads link.

In terms of sub-projects, a number have moved accross, but we still have
6 to go.

Any volunteers? :>.

STILL TO MOVE TO MIRRORED DISTRIBUTION

xerces-j
xerces-p
xalan-j
batik
commons
axKit

MOVED TO MIRRORED DISTRIBUTION:

fop
forrest
security
xerces-c
xalan-c
xindice

Cheers,
	Berin

Peoples,

I think many are aware that the ASF has put in place a system that
allows other sites to mirror the files available for download from the
various Apache web sites.  This is all goodness - it allows people to
download from closer to home at the same time as reducing the bandwidth
utilisation for the main Apache site.

The XML project is lagging a bit behind other projects in moving to this
new scheme, and it's time we bit the bullet and made this happen.  The
aim is to try to do this within 2 months - i.e. by the end of October.

Of the various XML sub-projects, fop, forrest and security have already
moved over to the new system.  That leaves :

Xerces-J
Xerces-C
Xerces-P
Xalan-J
Xalan-C
Batik
Commons
Xindice
AxKit

It would be great if the PMC members could look at what needs to be done
to make this happen for their sub-projects.  If people could report back
to General as to who is going to take on what and then how they are
going, I will keep a status list.

Having done this for the xml-security sub-project, I can vouch for this
not being a huge piece of work :>.

Instructions for what needs to be done can be found at :

http://cvs.apache.org/~bodewig/mirror.html

and

http://www.apache.org/dev/mirrors.html

We probably also want to put together a general download page for the
project - but one thing at a time :>.

Cheers,
	Berin

Just getting a few people to look at to make sure I have not messed it up. 
Should be up today.
