I was simply on vacation when Dan raised this issue here - for the background, we have been discussing this issue for a while now. There are good arguments on both sides. Personally, I come down somewhat on the side of migration (if a few blocking issues with JBoss.org can be resolved which I will outline elsewhere). Needless to say I have an enormous amount of respect for Gavin and his opinion and I am not prepared to support migrating the Seam website to jboss.org software without Gavin's full support on the matter. This has always been my position, and will continue to be. >> And the performance of sfwk.org in North America >> at least is typically abysmal... > > Which, as you've already been told, is more a matter of the location > of the server. European users are not reporting problems. Exactly. sfwk.org is *very* responsive here in the UK. Dan, Lincoln and Rodney have been investigating moving the server to somewhere with better peering. We will conduct some speed trials of any new location (with the communities help) to ensure good latency in all parts of the world.
