Hi all.
I noticed Russ's recent comments on the Web Infrastructure page and wanted to take it to the public instead of using the wiki for communication:

There are a few challenges in a common infrastructure setup. We make use of components that are not part of the 'official' CentOS repositories atm. Most of them are web applications like Moin, phpBB, Mailmann, etc. These have to be packed and made available, either in a publicly accessible (preferred) or an internal repo. So maybe CentOS Extras or even Contrib is a good place to hold these new packages.
Another advantage is the artwork and style setup. This could either be included directly within the corresponding application packages or packed separately.
As we are also replacing some configuration files of HTTP (e.g. error messages) we may also have to re-pack this app. Having RPMs that replace other RPMs configurations is not the preferred way, I guess.
Best Regards Marcus
