It's an issue for interested parties - which is why I have been prepared to spend my own and others' bandwidth and time to solicit opinions and volunteers from the appropriate forums. > I consider my somewhat direct message to the ASF and related messages have been > successful: they established what the criteria for a 'python.apache.org' > are (check out Jorgen's replies).

Is Jorgen a member of the ASF? www.apache.org is the property of the ASF, and as such the ultimate decision of what python.apache.org should be (and whether it should be at all) is theirs. All we can do is come with proposals. I'm trying to work on something that extends to a broader area. python.apache.org is admittedly an important part of this, but it is still only a part. > The main issue now seems to be whether the 'python.apache.org' brand should be > only used for apache 'modules' (like mod_perl and mod_python) - which is what > I am promoting, or a more general link to all kind of packages more or less > related to apache and python. This is what Rimon promotes. [...] This is certainly a valid question, but I'm afraid it's not a decision to be made by us at this forum. Also, these are not the only options. > This is wrong: apache is one of the core successes of the open source model, > it should be handled with extreme care and foresight. Care and foresight have certainly been key words in your handling of this issue. > I have nothing to promote on the apache site and nothing to gain > from seeing 'mod_python == python.apache.org'. It's just the right thing to do. Well, this discussion has been going on for long enough and I thank Grisha for letting it happen on this mailing list. What follows now is work, work, work, and hopefully there will be something to announce in the coming weeks. Vio, could you please let us know if the ASF board has replied?
