question on dev documentation
If you search google for
link:http://www.apache.org/dev/
(that means "all pages that link to http://www.apache.org/dev/") you
find two pages and none of them are from the ASF.
My question is: is this on purpose or it's a navigation bug?

Ok, then my next question is: the fact that 'incubator.apache.org' is
not reacheable from www.apache.org is a navigation bug or it's on purpose?
My point is: I would like people to be able to find out stuff by
themselves, instead of having to ask and being pointed to. Know what I mean?

unclear. it is now linked from the incubator pages. it is something
to which new committers should be directed, i think, although if
the aggregation of how-to/what's-it-all-about documentation continues
to lie with the incubator, just pointing them there might suffice.

I think that page should be linked directly from http://www.apache.org/
right on the sidebar. But that's just my personal opinion.

It's not an error, just means that not many people know this page or find
it useful to link to it.
If you test for the links to www.apache.org you will find more than 55000
entries.
Apparently www.apache.org/dev is not worth linking to. Another
possibility is that the sites that link to this URL are not indexed by
Google. However this seems pretty unlikely to me.
If you test without the trailing slash there are NO entries found.
