In total fairness to Lenya, the first paragraph of their home page talks
about incubation. However, I agree as a policy matter that the site should
be moved, with a redirect put in place, as described below. After a project
leaves the incubator, a redirect can be put in the incubator's .htaccess to
reference its new location.
To demonstrate the technique, and further illustrating why web-sites should
be maintained in CVS (as Lenya's is :-)), I just issued the following
command:
cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/cvspublic \
checkout -d lenya cocoon-site/site/lenya
from /www/incubator.apache.org. You will notice that a copy of the lenya
site is now at http://incubator.apache.org/lenya. All that is left for the
Cocoon project to do now is to place:
Redirect Permanent /lenya http://incubator.apache.org/lenya
in .htaccess in their site root, and the location change should be
transparent to all. I won't do that, though. That is a change for them to
make.
When the lenya site is updated, someone just needs to do:
cd /www/incubator.apache.org/lenya
cvs update -Pd
rather than doing the exact same thing in /www/cocoon.apache.org/lenya.
The process is simple, and should not be disruptive to their progress at
all. It is actually rather cool that things can be this simple.
