Hello. I have 2 addon projects on Mozdev: ThunderPlunger and
ThunderbirdBiff. They are not terribly active although I do update
versions now and then and people are still using the addons. One
important thing is that Mozdev hosts a php web component for my
ThunderPlunger addon's Validate Email Address function. So other than
CVS and project page hosting, that would be one thing I would be looking
for.
Not sure what I know that could be of help in all of this. But feel free
to let me know/ask.
Thanks,
David

Dear Project Owners at Mozdev.org,
you may have noticed the most recent outage of the mozdev.org web
sites and Babelzilla database [all mozdev sites were down over the
Christmas Holidays], apparently this is caused by mozdev.org still
being hosted on a dedicated box which is now over ten years old. In
order to go forward we would like to re-host all mozdev sites and
related data into a different platform, the site host osuosl.org
suggested to migrate to a Virtual Machine in their hosting clusters.
This begs the question on how many people are still actively using
Mozdev.org to develop and publish their projects and what features
would be needed minimally. We also need to assess how much space would
be minimally required to migrate all necessary data.
To me personally, web sites with svn upload and the Babezilla database
to manage bugs and feature requests are the essential features. I used
to use mailing lists but since the majority of incoming mails was spam
I switched to direct personal support, which is manageable and much
easier to maintain.
Can you please reply to the owner list on the list with the following
information
1. your project name(s)
2. which features are you _actively_ using. Don't list everything you
have applied for, just what is absolutely essential.
3. would you be interested in helping with the migration?
thanks,
Axel
