This is also false. We offered to host the website and administer it, as we are already currently doing. The Boost Foundation has the option, but not the requirement, to adjust the DNS records for https://boost.org (which it controls) to point to our servers. At any time they can change this and point back to their existing web server (called “wowbagger”) which they also own and operate. If they don’t like our changes, they can point the domain away from our server. If they want us to do controversial things, we can refuse. This is only fair. Giving the Boost Foundation complete ongoing control of our work is not acceptable.
I am dismayed. If these things are false then we are not on the same page and I'm baffled at the written communication from your people that indicate otherwise. Either there is some serious miscommunication or we were led on.
Vinnie has invested a considerable amount of resources into creating the new website. If you assumed that he would just give complete control & copyright of a project like that and then pay for the servers without any control, you shouldn't be dismayed but embarrassed. I know from Experience, that Vinnie's communication style is very direct so I really doubt he led you on.
At this point, I don't see how I could support the C++ Alliance website becoming boost.org.
Why? What could make you support it? Why is the community not served if the C++ Alliance provides a new website - the current doesn't cease to exist, does it?
We can come up with other ways to do a website refresh.
I would be very interested in those ways - can you be more specific.
