Yes, I would prefer a standardish way to distribute these types of |
| 10 |
things. GLSA's seem to work fine, but they are XML only currently and I |
| 11 |
don't think this GLEP is heading that way. If we can nail down the |
| 12 |
standards for local vs. remote (www) it should work fine from the infra |
| 13 |
side. |

Yeah, I wondered about that too. I think the jist of this whole thread |
| 30 |
is the www presentation level of it would most likely end up as guidexml |
| 31 |
(unless there's a good reason to use something totally different). The |
| 32 |
mean reason I say that is because I'm guessing most of the detailed |
| 33 |
information will reside on the actual www nodes under the GDP which at |
| 34 |
this time I'd like to keep in xml form. (And i'm only talking about the |
| 35 |
presentation layer, not what you'll see in the tree). |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
If however, we think its better to have a totally separate vhost like |
| 38 |
errata, we can be more flexible on the format we use to display. All I'm |
| 39 |
after from an infra POV is something simple for us to manage and scale. |
