[ lot more good reasons snipped ] <alioth admin hat> I have to say that I'm not very happy about general purpose hosting on the 'alioth' servers. While I agree QA work is useful and should be encouraged rather than discouraged, I don't know if alioth is the place for development work of this sort. </alioth admin hat> <dsa hat> qa.d.o has a dedicated machine, udd has a dedicated machine, and I'm sure it would be straight forward enough to set up a playpen on one or the other of those machines for DDs who want to do QA tasks without formally joining the QA team (just a gid debian writable subdirectory of the web root where users could create their own spaces would probably be sufficient?). This is just musing off the top of my head - I don't speak for the QA team or lucas about access to these services - the machines are open to all DDs, however, so I don't see any compelling issues to be resolved off hand. </dsa hat> Cheers, -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ,''`.
