Yes, please don't start a vote just yet. There's still plenty of questions that need to be answered from an infrastructure perspective. This is a large project with lots of moving parts potentially moving into the ASF - 2 days really isn't enough discovery yet. I'll note that plenty of questions from my original list that haven't yet been answered. But here are a few more questions: The size of the binaries appears pretty large - what is the typical total size of all the binaries that you release at a single time? What are the typical download counts upon release/or bandwidth consumed. My suspicion is that you are pretty close to OpenOffice style numbers in terms of total size. That might cause some of our mirrors to balk at hosting/delivering your binaries. There appears to be 7 months before plugins.netbeans.o disappears. That isn't a lot of time, assuming that plugins.nb.o is not going to live at the ASF, what's the projects plans? Frankly, I worry that in 6 months this will suddenly become a huge priority and that the project will ask the ASF to manage this. We may or may not have the resources to do so - we don't know what this involves in terms of space or bandwidth - and we would almost certainly expect the project to manage the application. Are you currently signing your binaries? What happens in 7 months to all of the old releases? Is your community the type that typically makes heavy use of old releases or are they constantly upgrading? or? What kind of release notification infrastructure do you have in place. I know there's been a 'help bubble' in place that tells folks of new versions in the past. Does that still exist. How is that notification authenticated? Are you planning on transferring all of that? If not, what happens to all of the old versions that no longer get alerts? Daniel: Since you volunteered for this, do you mind doing some one-on-one discovery with some of the project folks about their infrastructure, whats going to move, what isn't? What parts are crucial to the entire platform working, etc.? Then bring your findings back to the list? --David --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
