The top level oozie directory existed.  I've added branches, site, tag, and trunk directories under oozie to match the standard Apache format.  You should now be able to do "svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/oozie/trunk" and start laying out your code in this directory.  Take a look at HCatalog's repo (svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/hcatalog/trunk) on how to lay out your code.  Don't look at Hadoop's, as there's is complicated by the whole common/hdfs/mr split.

Has Yahoo turned in the SGA for Oozie?  If not, you shouldn't check in the code until it does.

The mailing lists exist (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-3772).  The archives do to.  You can find them at http://www.mail-archive.com/oozie-dev%40incubator.apache.org/ (substituting users, commits for dev, I don't think private will be archived).

If you haven't already, you should subscribe to the lists.  You can do this by sending email to oozie-dev-subscribe@incubator.apache.org (same for users, commits, private by substituting these for dev in the address).

You should pick one or the other of these.  File a JIRA with INFRA, see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-3524 for the example one with HCatalog.

I'll check this stuff off on the status page so people know how it's going.
