Could you review what user services Apache projects typically provide? I assume it is one or more mailing lists, a bug tracker, and a release repository. Anything else? User-facing blogs? Forums, i.e., non-mail enabled by default, as opposed to mailing lists? In the initial discussions the thought was to divide the project web presence from the end-user web presence. Reasons for this include the many thousands of inbound links to OpenOffice.org. But some systems need to be easily accessible to both users and project members, e.g., the bug tracker. More than one way to do this, but it would be good to know the range of what is possible at Apache. -Rob --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
