>From an overall ASF perspective, I'd be more likely to go with the one that has less overhead. Nabble is already there, doing the forum thing, and completely managed outside of the ASF. Nobody at the ASF has to do anything but add new mailing lists to it periodically. My understanding (which could be completely wrong ;) is that Jyve would need to be installed and managed at the ASF to provide the same kind of functionality. That means it has infrastructure requirements - hardware, software and especially people to maintain it. That being the case, I'd want to see a compelling case for Jyve over Nabble, and names of people willing to do the work. -- Martin Cooper Tom > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >
