Developers Website
Vijay
I have two hosted websites that I currently do not use one with almost 5
gigs on it (more if I clean out some old stuff) and another with 90gigs that
I was just about to drop. Bandwidth is not a problem at 250gigs a month on
the small one and 1000gigs on the larger and even when they were active with
hundreds of users, I never even approached 25% of that.
Database space (mysql) is unlimited as far as I know.
I just won't have time for a few weeks to get it set up to accept
submissions.
My intent was to take anything from anyone, and then download it to a local
isolated machine and make sure there wasn't anything malicious in it, then
put it back up for others to grab.
The problem here is the regular maintenance checking new submissions. I can
devote some time to that, but not lots.
If someone has time to do a php page to accept submissions, I can set up
phpBB pretty fast and a home page and then give someone ftp access to work
on the submissions page(s).
I just checked and ofbizdev.org is available for a domain name.

Ok.
I have a setup on sourceforge for that.
might consider that.

Just a reminder to endorse Jacopo's opinion :
Joint work :
"For copyright purposes, a collaboration between two or more authors in which their contributions are joined into a single cohesive
work. Each author of a joint work has equal rights to register and enforce the copyright, regardless of how their shares in the work
are divided. "
http://www.nolo.com/definition.cfm/Term/D02E1468-485C-4B29-9A6F9698BE4A5433/alpha/J/
This is why Jira issue have this check boxe : ASF Grant. And this is why ASF and its practices exist.
We had an extended discussion about this topic earlier this year or last year you might find it thru Nabble.

I don't understand... under what license are you going to collect the
contributions? No license from the authors == no rights to use.

The author of a contribution in Apache OFBiz Jira have to choose to
release it under the ASL2.0 or not (there is a radio box for this when
you create an attachment); the patches/contributions in Jira are never
deleted, even if they are not committed in the OFBiz svn... and of
course they can be downloaded and evaluated by people interested.
Isn't this enough?

This not a demo site. It is a developers site to collect Ofbiz addons and
customizations that don't make it into the official Ofbiz release for one
reason or another. I know of two people now who cannot post to Jira because
of licensing issues. There are many other reasons. Maybe it's not "best
practice" or industry specific or whatever. Maybe they don't have time to
continue updating it for the latest Ofbiz release. There are dozens of
reasons people feel uncomfortable offering code back.
This is just a place to let Ofbiz developers contribute back the community
with no strings and little oversite. Anything that can go in Jira should go
there if people want to give that a try.
The intent is to provide something that is easy to use so you can steal some
code or documentation to help you with your next project when it doesnt fit
the Ofbiz model as well as you would like (which I expect is almost always)
or it's in an industry that is not well supported.
This is not part of Ofbiz although in my vision, I would hope that whatever
can, would have been offered via Jira.
There would be no SVN here, just tarred or zipped bits of code or
documententation completely under control of the author and only vetted for
malicious code.
The only thing I would like to see is that if you take something, you have
to give something back. Maybe you give something BEFORE you take something.
There are already several demo sites around, so I think that is a little
redundant.
Anyway, only a dream until I have a few days to spend on it.

not sure what you envision.
there should be only one official svn for Apache ofbiz.
and there are some others the provide demos along with their add-ons
If you have something to demo or just provide another demo site, that
may be helpful
