Re: ObjectWeb Portal

I'm of the opinion that we should move most infrastructure to ObjectWeb and 
host demos, wiki, blogs, and other things like that on our barracudamvc.org 
server.  That makes it so we administer only the stuff we truly care about 
administering in our own way.  Stuff like CVS, releases, nightly builds, 
bug tracking is all very necessary, but more tedious to 
administer.  ObjectWeb gives us the ability to offload this into their 
capable hands, leaving us with more free time to concentrate on building, 
documenting, and having fun working with a great project such as Barracuda.
