I thought that after a -1 the discussion started again on the disagreements. No - it's not a veto. Ok. My bad. I'm still looking for an ISO 2000-able mechanism (repeatable, documented, understandable) to migrate the email lists in the incubator domain to the eventual TLP domain without losing threads, context, etc. I see that Cocoon apparently has merged their before- and after- graduation lists, but don't have any idea how well documented and repeatable that process was. For all I know, it was done by superhuman effort by one of the superhumans in infra. What do  you need exactly?  can you post it to infra? I got a reply from Roy who is one of the "superhumans". He says he knows how to do it with some scripts. Roy: "I don't like moving lists unless there is a good reason.  It is a potentially error-prone process if something unforeseen blocks the move." What I'm looking for is a repeatable, documented process of migrating email lists from the project-dev AT incubator.apache.org to project-dev AT top-level-project.apache.org. What Roy has might be suitable as a tool for part of the process. There are still questions about how long the old alias will continue to work and whether threads are maintained across the alias change. But I'm still missing the rationale for making this big change to users with the small justification that it makes the incubator more visible by having it be in the email alias instead of all over the web site.

Bergman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, December 16, 2005 16:02 To: general@incubator.apache.org Subject: @domain for Incubator mailing lists There has been some discussion and confusion over where to put mailing lists for projects that are in the Incubator.  As the person who argued for the current approach, which had to do with infrastructure issues, I'm also going to suggest that it change.  We are finding that it is more and more important to highlight when a project is in the Incubator, and to ensure that there is no confusion in the mind of the public about that status. The current approach is to put the mailing lists under the domain of the TLP into which it was expected that they would go, and THE REASON for this had to do with the difficulty of moving the mailing lists and the eyebrowse archives.  HOWEVER, Roy has since written a script to move mailing lists, and we no longer use eyebrowse.  And unlike the prior setup, it is fairly straightforward to redirect an old archive location to a new one. THEREFORE, new mailing lists should be created under the @incubator.apache.org domain, just as all of the other project resources, e.g., the web site and SVN subtree. --- Noel --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --  Carsten Ziegeler - Open Source Group, S&N AG http://www.s-und-n.de http://www.osoco.org/weblogs/rael/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Craig Russell Architect, Sun Java Enterprise System http://java.sun.com/products/jdo 408 276-5638 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] P.S.
