Hi Jay, It sounds like you have the CMS setup that is quite common in the ASF. If you would rather have straight-up svnpubsub, you can ask for it. That way, whatever static content you push to svn will instantly be shown on your web site without having to publish through the UI first. The main

Thanks David, I agree there is a great deal of overhead. My hope is that we can leverage an existing org to manage the overhead. Ideally all we (ComDev) will do is some internal marketing. If all we do is send 5 volunteers to TEALS it makes a difference and we can all be pleased with ourselves

Essentially, github uses the same method as we do with svnpubsub. Files are pushed to a repository and then from there pushed directly to the web site. Is there anything specific about the github model that you think differ from how we do things? Apart from it being git and not subversion, ob

Hi apache ! Whats the simplest way to maintain the xyz.apache.org site? Right now we push to SVN, but would be great to use something like the github.io model, where the static pages are just hosted directly. On Wed, Jan 7, 2015 at 2:56 PM, wrote: > Hi! This is the ezmlm program. I'm managing

Well, now that you say so, there is that guy called "Rich Bowen". You know, most developers ain't that rich and this guy ostensibly says he's Rich... This may hurt financial feelings. Another option is to call the guy "Poor Bowen", so everyone feels ok? Just a suggestion. On 2015-01-06 22:4
