[AG-DEV] Continual of AG services

[vgoya at uvigo.es]

Estimado/Dear Jason,


JB> Though I am encouraged to see enthusiasm with regards to getting
JB> services migrated, I would personally like to see some robust
JB> discussions on platforms, systems and services, before any migration takes place.

In my oppinion, first of all, is to prepare a TODO list identifying the priority
of tasks.

My knowledge of AG architecture is a little bit "rusty" but,
high priority services could be:

ANL Bridge Registry
ANL Jabber Server


So, lets start the discussion with this first TODO list:

* Critical:
ANL Bridge Registry
ANL Jabber Server
AG-Dev Certificate Authority

* Must to have:
Hosting for accessgrid.org
AG-related mailing lists

* Nice to have:
ANL Venue Server
Source Core repository


Please feel free to disagree, add items, etc...

I must check with my Manager but we will be able to engage some
resources, specially for those critical services.

Hosting accessgrid.org should not be a problem for us too.

Best,
Vicente

JB> Now, I am not sure if this is a "real" issue with regards to

JB> Therefore, I encourage others to contribute and propose

JB> Now is the time to "have your say"!

JB> Many thanks,

JB> Hi  everyone 

JB> It some respects it would look good if we got started on
JB> migrating some of the services of AG. mainly if the project looks
JB> dead it's harder to get things happening. 

JB> I can't do much development but i can set up a source forge account. and do svn task

JB> so ideally we can import the full svn repository complete with comments and old revisions

JB> if someone with shell access to the current svn repo could they do the following :

JB>     Discuss your proposed changes with your Project Team.
JB>     Use svnadmin dump /PATH/TO/REPO > svndump to create a dump file named "svndump".
JB>     It is a good idea to compress the resulting dump file, to
JB> save space. We support zip, bzip2, and gzip compression (do not tar it).

JB> instructions from source forge.
JB> http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sourceforge/wiki/SVN%20adminrepo#ImportingfromotherreposincludingotherSCMs

JB> sourceforge also supports mailing lists mailman same as what anl
JB> use not sure if they support a history import of that through will investigate.
