Hey! Now that 2.0.0 is starting to shape up it seems like we should figure out what to do about hosting. Sean, I imagine you have some ideas of what you'd like to do? Some sort of dedicated box would be good. We'll need root access (unless someone else is willing to manage email, web, and svn for us). I'd prefer Linux. My distribution preference is Ubuntu 6.06, Fedora Core 5, Debian Stable or Testing (in that order). For a web server I prefer Apache 2. I have no preference for email servers. For revision control I'd prefer Subversion. The only other version control system in the running in my mind is Bazaar. I prefer Subversion because I feel like it's more stable and weathered. I also don't see any major advantages to using Bazaar. But to be fair I have commit access to Gaim. In general I don't like lots of branches because they lead to extra overhead merging things, therefore I feel like Bazaar would add MORE work rather than LESS. For bug tracking I prefer trac. I've been playing around with it and I think it'll suit our needs. I like the integrated wiki. I like the project roadmap. I like that we can associate bugs and feature requests with a particular milestone in the project roadmap. I've set up a trac install on my home computer. You should be able to try it out by accessing http://mark.markdoliner.com:8080/cgi-bin/trac.cgi IM me if you have problems. You can log in as an admin using username MarkDoliner and password "admin" It is purely a test installation, so feel free to delete shit and edit crap, file fake bugs, close tickets, whatever. I think I prefer ViewVC to trac's repository browser, but maybe only because I'm used to ViewVC. If we go with trac I propose that we disable trac's repository browser and forward people to ViewVC. This install is using SQLite, but if we go with trac we should probably use postgresql. Oh, and we should customize the appearance a good bit. If we don't end up using trac, I'd like to have some sort of wiki regardless. Mediawiki seems as good a candidate as any. -Mark |
