Build in disrepair Re: Where are the convenience functions for HSSF?

["Andrew C. Oliver" <ac...@apache.org>]

He does bring up a good point there should be some way of having contrib 
documentation. 

Nicola Ken half ported from old old centipede to new centipede and so 
one must use a different build for different things..  He's now kinda 
emertus in a manner of speaking, so someone needs to pick this up.

With the extreme loathing that my prior build work created, I swore it 
off completely (maybe only Glen + Nicola Ken have been here long enough 
to remember).  Now I don't care if we use Ant or make files so long as 
the site generates from XML, doesn't look too horrid, we have the JUnit 
results, javasrc, javadoc, etc all from one build.

Hell we can use Maven for all I care, just so long as it works.  (At 
this point I hate things in each, love things in each)..

If someone wants to really make a difference in this project we need 
someone to take up the build.  It seems fair that that person should
be in charge of releases (currently thats Glen) but lets not leave this 
big broken window. 

Any takers?  Thoughts?

I could give moving completely to the new centipede a go.  I've got a few 
things to finish first though (newsletter and a new project to 
publish).  If someone else wants to give this a shot I'll be happy to step 
aside.

Regards,

Glen
