Gavin,

I can understand your frustration with the Hibernate migration - the jboss.org hibernate site is broken - I'm sure Mark's team is working on it diligently.

This, however, is not quite the same situation, since we are not suggesting a migration, but a new beginning.

Seam 3 is truly a fresh start, and will not require migration of documentation or content. (Save a few module-specific design pages that we can easily transition over to the JBoss community as we need.)

I can personally submit my frustration as a new module lead - seamframework.org is not enough to meet my needs in:
  1. Engaging the community - promoting the project.
  2. Staying aware of what the community is doing, asking for, struggling with, talking about. I'm cut out completely on seamframework.org. I can't get email notifications, I can't paste links to replies, other threads on the site itself, or URLs with query=parameters (without using the  plain text mode which is just terrible.)
  3. Providing logically organized, clear, and navigable information. How can I establish the expectations and guidelines for development on these modules when I can't put that on a site that isn't confused with Seam 2 already?
These are just a few of the issues I've encountered - aside from the fact that the site is frequently down and is always semi-responsive (5-15s per request). It's struggling to keep up with our needs.

If I am going to be successful here (my employment depends on my success with these modules, at this point) I only request the proper tools to achieve my goals.
