[Tinyos-alliance] Re: [Tinyos-devel] TinyOS Website

[Joe Polastre]

As a logistical item, shouldn't the TinyOS website move to a non-UCB
server where we can create accounts for folks with access control? 
This would be in line with what Apache does (and why I can be reached
at jpolast at apache.org for life).

Having users login and all work together seems much more useful that
pages floating around all creation.  I'd argue Apache has done a
better job than IETF in terms of managing and consolidating all of the
different activities within the organization.

And, just think about it, one day we could have our own CVS/SVN that
isn't delayed by a day and doesn't go down due to other projects :)
