Fwd: Problem with ant.apache.org Website Frames?

[Steve Meredith <st...@sunblade.co.uk>]

Hi

Not sure who to contact about the ant.apache website itself...no  
clues (even after following help instructions for contact) on site :-|

but thought you might like to know ....


Regards
Steve
P.S. this is my last attempt at contacting someone at ant.apache  
about a fault that might help them before giving up :-)

I think the user or dev lists are the appropriate contacts.

Well, yes.  But I guess it is sort of intentional, we don't want to
lose the RH navigation when the user switches from the manual to the
website.  In a way it does make sense.  The alternative would be to
open the website in a new window.

It certainly looks confusing if one does what you describe, but why
would anybody want to do that?  Why would you click on Manual after
leaving the manual for the website?
