Hey, everyone.

Right now, the groovy website is hosted on a mix of Apache infrastructure
and a legacy box. The groovy-lang.org portion of the site seems to go down
with some regularity (it's not loading for me right now). I know that Paul
setup a daily restart
<https://lists.apache.org/thread/w7t5v2p9gjr09cb7pbbh43vl6sfj0p0g> back in
March to try and address that, but that's only a temporary solution and
it's obviously not 100%.

Do we need someone to chase up an infra ticket around moving the whole site
onto ASF infra? We did something like this with Geb, preserving links from
the old gebish.org domain using [mod_rewrite] rules (see INFRA-26562
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-26562>). I wouldn't want to
make the move if it meant breaking a bunch of links to the Groovy site, but
in this case I think we can basically keep our existing links while still
moving the content over to ASF's hosting, so long as the infra team agrees.
We've already got https://groovy.apache.org/, so it shouldn't be a problem
to add content to that and setup appropriate rewrite rules.

Personally, I'd rather leave the business of hosting the site to the good
folks on the ASF Infra team so we can focus on other stuff.

I'm still getting caught up on the mailing list, so I'm a little sheepish
about volunteering for this in the midst of a major release, but the site
being down was getting on my nerves so I'm trying to follow my round tuits
<https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/round_tuit> where they lead me.

There are two questions:
1. Would anyone object to my opening a ticket with the INFRA team to do
this?
2. Should this have its own VOTE thread?

Best,

Jonny
