[Fwd: Re: apache repository: how to integrate with ibiblio]

[__matthewHawthorne <ma...@apache.org>]

I sent a message to maven-dev,  and according to J Van Zyl, ibiblio 
already "pulls" from Apache.  I'm not exactly sure how this works.

What is the next step in creating the repository directory? I'm a bit 
confused at to the Apache formalities.  Are these mirroring issues a 
huge deal or can we go ahead, create the directory, and start building 
to it?

Thanks!
