Hi,
Much better to have it on a TDF server.
OK, I filed a request with the BoD.
I've just been on the BoD confcall, and discussed the provision of a
TDF server to host the Alfresco platform. While the BoD didn't want to
make it an official voting issue, it was agreed by all that there is,
in principle, no problem with TDF providing the needed infrastructure.
Basically, they'd like Florian and the infrastructure team to deal
with the matter.
The only question to be clearly resolved is: does the Documentation
team really want an Alfresco platform?
If the answer is yes and the only real sticking point is that you want
it hosted on a TDF server rather than a community member's server,
then there will be no problem. I've been assured off-list and by the
BoD that TDF will provide what's necessary and I, for one, am willing
to install, configure, customize and administer the platform for you.
If, on the other hand, the answer is no, you don't actually want to
use Alfresco and you prefer to stay with the ODFAuthors tool, then -
again - there is no problem and we can simply close the subject.
Since the Alfresco platform has been online and available to you since
January 2011, I'd humbly suggest that people have had enough
opportunity to evaluate it as a tool, and that they should by now be
in a position to voice a preference.
In any case, do you think I should simply close down the server I'm
currently operating for for the team, since apparently it is no longer
being used?
