Bill Gropp, who has been taking good care of the site all along, is in the process of setting it up at U. of Illinois. I think we should let him proceed.

My only point is that this process has taken quite a long time already (no complaints -- I'm assuming that Bill has been quite busy in moving to his new job!).


Indiana U. has a good track record and is well experienced at such things (including wikis and other collaborative technologies) -- the switch could be made in the immediate future. The sooner the move occurs, the better (IMHO).

My $0.02...

That would be wonderful!

I can personally vouch for the fact that Indiana U. has the technology and the professional support staff (not just a bunch of grad students) to host web sites/electronic resources for large, distributed projects. For example, we have found the Open MPI web site and electronic resources (SVN, wikis, bug tracking, mailing lists, etc.) to be quite reliable. The IU support staff is quite responsive when there are problems, and open to adding in new technologies when asked. Additionally, since IU a public university, getting accounts/write access to the resources is fairly easy.

I'd vote for moving mpi-forum.org (and all of its electronic resources) to Indiana U.

Hi -- We would be happy to host the web site at IU. We host sites for several different projects and could get the site, mailing lists, wikis, etc up in short order (and have them all playing nicely together).

Best,

Also, I have been questioned about the web-site. We are almost there, and
if we can't get things up and running next week, I will most likely get a
temporary site working, and once I figure out how to access the official
web-site, move the information. Not ideal, but this is where we are. I
will keep sending information via e-mail, until things are in place.
