Thanks for the Proving Grounds. May I suggest a Plone Jumpbox? I'm starting to use Joomla, but I am currently using Plone for some projects, and having it in a JumpBox will be nice.

Hi Kimbro, Can we expect to see a Django jumpbox on the proving grounds any time soon?

Alright, I had a feeling that that might be the case and was considering poking around in it.

Has anyone considered creating a robust Rails JumpBox? I'm about ready to put one together myself based on ubuntu so as to maintain a consistent platform across machines and a more seamless update and backup process (probably use netatalk, samba and sshfs for fs sharing).

Thought I might save myself some trouble if it is already in the works.

Kimbro, I'm thinking that another area ripe for a jumpbox is network monitoring. There are a couple of products I've seen that look interesting. Zenoss and Nagios might be candidates. I've played with Zenoss a tiny bit and just discovered Nagios. It is also being integrated with some other open source packages by groundworkopensource.com. I think there are probably a lot of small to mid-sized organizations that might welcome a network monitoring jumpbox.

Hi Kimbro, You'll have to forgive me, but I moved from AZ couple of months ago so I don't have the benefit of Richard explaining it to me. I am still at work at 9:00pm on a Friday night at my new gig as Dir of IT at www.Lynda.com and the fog in my brain is thick. But I think you guys have missed the ball a bit with your explanation. (I actually got a better idea as to what you do by \/\/\/\/ his feedback than I did from your explanation. In ONE sentence what is a jumpbox? Now, start your explanation with that. As best I can tell with what I read. I think they are fully setup version of some business application captured in a sample virtualization that I could download and install on a server? my server? a hosting provider server? or do you provide an appliance?

Richard said something about parallels or VM ware. I am guessing you are expecting pretty technical guys to use "jumpboxes" but as a potential user I am working REALLY hard to figure out how it works. Suggest you get an outside resource to give you some site usability feedback. You have clearly assumed a level of pre communicated context that I didn't have.

Keep in mind I am a typical CIO type these days. (Mile wide, skin deep) and don't want to work very hard to figure things out. Some of my balding friends may find me foolish for not haveing sniffed around more before I through up my hands.

Sincerely,
Todd

Hi Kimbro, thanks for inviting me to the group. I downloaded a couple of the appliances last night to check them out. Do we, as testers, get the more functional versions or do we just use the public ones?
Also, what software is this site using for the pages, blogs, etc.? Is it Drupal or Wordpress or ?
