docs don't appear in snapshots

[Rick Hillegas <Ri...@Sun.COM>]

Hey Andrew,

I may have posed this question while you were on vacation: Snapshots 
don't contain the user docs although releases do. What's the reason for 
not bundling user guides in snapshots?

Thanks,
-Rick

Thanks, Andrew. I don't have strong feelings about this issue yet. My 
internal customers wanted the user guides which went with the executable 
bits and I found I couldn't just point them at the download page for 
one-stop-shopping.

Regards,
-Rick

It keeps the download small (conserving bandwidth on people.apache.org
since the snapshots aren't on the mirrors) and helps to reinforce that
it is not a release. We could add them, but I'm not sure why that
would be necessary. Do you think we should add them to the snapshots?
