Does the "who we are" page need to be updated?
It seems like the page http://db.apache.org/whoweare.html
might be somewhat out of date at this point. Can somebody
suggest a point of contact for updating the page?
thanks,
bryan

OK, so I decided to be brave and just let it run, and it must have
downloaded most of the things the first time, because this time it
said:

What does this mean?

Hi Bryan,
I have never used maven before, but I installed maven 1.0.2 and ran
"maven site". It started downloading lots of files with me too, but it
finished rather quickly (1 minute and 9 seconds) with BUILD
SUCCESSFUL. I found the generated web pages under target/docs.
Andrew mentioned that we should use maven 1.0.X, so maybe downgrading
would help?

Uh, you need maven 1.0 for this. Sorry if I didn't say that in the first
place.
Best regards
Henning

Hi Henning, thanks very much for the help.
I've finally found time to work on this, and am making some good progress.
I've checked out the db/site module from subversion and I believe I've
updated the right files (project.xml and projects/derby/project.xml)
I've installed maven 2.0.4 and now I'm trying to figure out how to use it.
The first thing I tried was 'mvn --version', which seems to work fine.
Then I tried just running 'mvn' and it said
[INFO] You must specify at least one goal. Try 'install'
Then I tried running 'mvn site', which was just a guess. It said:
[INFO] Building Maven Default Project
[INFO] task-segment: [site]
which seems pretty good, but then it started downloading an apparently
infinite number of files off the internet. There was line after line like:
Downloading: http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/maven/scm/maven-scm-provider-starteam
/1.0-beta-3/maven-scm-provider-starteam-1.0-beta-3.jar
50K downloaded
Downloading: http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/regexp/regexp/1.3/regexp-1.3.jar
24K downloaded
I got alarmed after it appeared to have downloaded close to a hundred different
things because I didn't really understand why it was downloading all these files
and had I maybe installed it wrong? So I interrupted it.
Sorry for being such a clueless newbie, but can you tell from the above whether
I've got maven installed properly or not?
thanks,
bryan

Please look at
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/db/site/README.txt
which hopefully answers most of your questions. If not, feel free to
ask. :-)

The DB project web pages are maven-generated. As I understand it, you
need to set up maven (1.0.x), extract the source from
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/db/site/ into a local directory, edit
the bits that need editing, and run 'maven site:deploy' in that
directory.
I was going to do it a couple of months ago, but I can't get maven to
cooperate with my machine. I'm sure it's user error in some regard,
but I'm not a regular maven user, and I haven't had time to track the
problem down.

It would be great if there were a wiki page on how to deploy the main
db site for non-maven users.

Hi, Bryan. You actually need to change this page yourself, as a
committer. I did it a long time ago and can't remember the magic
incantations, but I suspect Jean or Andrew can give you guidance.
Is this information available on a web page somewhere, maybe in our Wiki?
