I like the long-term goal of the Fedora Project becoming more autonomous and independent -- or at least giving that appearance. I know it would take a great deal of effort to move everything over, and I'm not sure we have the resources to do it at this time. Perhaps when there is more muscle behind fedoraproject.org, we can pull this off. I'm willing to go with #1 in the meantime. Something else that we might hear is that a difficult move is best to do now and get it over with, and I would normally agree, but I'm not convinced that we are really in the best position to pull it off right now. How about we go with #1 right now and, if the demand is present, we review this in 6 months? -- Patrick "The N-Man" Barnes nman64@xxxxxxxxx www.n-man.com --
