[Windmill-dev] Windmill and OSAF

[Matthew Eernisse]

Mikeal,

Sorry for the delayed response on this -- I don't check the Windmill 
list every day.

I'm really glad you included the historical context. It's important 
information to have when making any kind of large steering decision like 
this.

I think the plan seems totally reasonable. Looks like there would be 
minimal disruption for end-users.

I'll help with the move in any way I can.

I'd be happy to host an rsync backup as well. Redundancy is pretty 
important for any project to maintain its credibility when things go 
wrong with hosting -- as they inevitably do.

I would imagine the remaining OSAF crew would be happy to have one less 
distraction from their current mission, and will be happy to see 
Windmill achieve a degree of independence. It's been "walking up and 
down on the branch" -- I think now it's time for it to fly out of the nest.
