I can see that vision, just figured the urgency meant we were going to take it in phases, e.g.: 1. Get up a webpage that explains each hook & links to it directly + directions for setting up yum repo. 1.1 Do this quickly with WordPress, maybe get some design thoughts from Garrett. 2. Based on what we learn in doing phase 1, we can figure out the appropriate web service to grab, install, and run. 2.1 We definitely want to get UX and design help here. What wasn't clear to me is if the hooks are specific to VDSM or generic for oVirt. In other words, are we ordering up: vdsm-hooks.ovirt.org => ovirt.org/VDSM-hooks or hooks.ovirt.org => ovirt.org/hooks

(We'll do the Apache config to make it whatever, but fundamentally we're building a new tree at either /VDSM-hooks or /hooks as root, with a repo tree underneath to start, and sporting an eventual web service.) > The hooks are delivered as RPMs -they need to be in a yum repo (for > fedora/EL) with web/wiki pages with help/docs/etc OK, I can do the Apache work, create the directory tree, and order up DNS as soon as $someone_who_knows confirms that the generic word 'hooks' works, i.e. that we aren't tying up the incorrect namespace. - Karsten -- Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Sr. Analyst - Community Growth http://TheOpenSourceWay.org .^\ http://community.redhat.com @quaid (identi.ca/twitter/IRC) \v' gpg: AD0E0C41 _______________________________________________ Infra mailing list Infra(a)ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/infra
