Yay, thanks bryce.
Already, a mailman3 service is under development, which when done will enable us to migrate our existing mailing lists off of SourceForge. I'm hoping we'll start migration within a few months and complete it some time this year. Mailing lists are the last bit of our infrastructure remaining on SF, so this will enable us to finally retire it. Yay.
This is a long term dream.
Other services (mediawiki, mattermost, forums, planetplanet, et al) can also be hosted here. If you're interested in working on setting up a service for Inkscape or migrating an existing one, and are either conversant in ansible or interested in learning, please let me know and I'll help get you started.
I'm interested in a setting up a staging site for the website, athough I'm not ansible literate although it doesn't really need much. Just nginx, python and a few libs.
I'm also setting up a temporary web host that won't be managed through ansible, that we can use to bootstrap and to host trivial things. This will have a basic apache web server and ample bulk storage space, but otherwise will be extremely no-frills - no PHP, no CGI, no apache mods/ It should be suitable for static HTML and basic http-based file sharing. More on this to come, or drop me a line if you can't wait.
Shouldn't it be nginx for consistancy? Apache's a bit of a beast for just simple file hosting (even though it's CentOS default httpd) are you planning on Ubuntu machines or CentOS machines? (or does it not matter?)
