Frank, are you tied to the branding of www.gdal.org, or could you be convinced to have it redirect to gdal.osgeo.org. This wouldn't necessitate using Drupal; it could still be on the download.osgeo.org server serving Doxygen content.

Subject: [SAC] www.gdal.org web site
Folks,
The contract for the machine I host www.gdal.org at iweb.ca is coming up
for renewal and in order to save roughly $1200 USD per year, I'd like to
migrate to OSGeo/telascience hardware. The services I currently host are:
1) www.gdal.org - a doxygen generated website + the primary download directory.
this includes the fwtools download area.
2) maps.gdal.org - a few datasets made available through MapServer via WMS,
and WCS (SRTM30, and a big landsat mosaic of south america)
This isn't critical, but some of my test scripts do run
against it.
3) some bittorrent peering for geotorrent.org.
4) home.gdal.org - my personal web site which I'll move to a shared hosting
service I've been paying for and not using for a while
(one of those $10/month type services).
I have created a trac ticket to track this task:
http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/81
My main question(s) are:
o Where should we put these services? I'm thinking putting it www.gdal.org
on the same blade as download.osgeo.org would be convenient from my point
of view.
o Is there an issue with migrating over maps.gdal.org and the bittorrent
peering? This duplicates work done by the geodata group. I could
actually just decommission this if it doesn't fit the model well.
I expect Mateusz and I will do the bulk of the actual migration work.
BTW, I'd also like to transfer control of the gdal.org domain to OSGeo
at some point.
Best regards,
--
