Farrukh,
We would like to have a .gov address for
the running demo web site (I assume there would be one), registry and perhaps
the “community” role. This may or may not be the same place
we keep the project development assets. My guess is the GSA portal will
not be sufficiently mature to replace sourceforge but lets find out. What
they currently have up is the jBoss portal and application server.
Unless there turns out to be all the
pieces (the ones you have listed) ready to go on jBoss, we should probably use
sourceforge.
As to what will be on sourceforge –
I haven’t expected that much would need to be developed at the community
level – primarily the model and ws-* specifications. This part must
be open and available. Implementation of any of the components may or may
not be open source – if they were open it would make sense to put them on
the same place.
Thanks!
-Cory

Hi Cory,
Great news! Will this be on SOurceForge as I had proposed or somewhere else?
If it is at sourceforge then there a small lead time of 1-2 weeks to get a
project started.
Let me know if you want me to start the process at sourceforge. All we will
need is for us
to come up with a one word name for project and a paragraph that describes it
goals and deliverables.
If it is to be hosted elsewhere then please do share the logistics for CVS or
Subversion repository and how to get
access to the server. I assume you are aware that it take quite a bit of
infrastructure to host an open source project:
- Online support
- Mailing lists
- Version control system (Subversion or CVS)
- Issue tracker
- FAQ Tracker
- secure access to server via SSH
- Web site
- Wiki
- Continuous Build support
- File Releases process
Thanks for the update.
