+ <h1 class="title">How to edit the Aiaravata website</h1>
+ <p>This HowTo documentation will show the needed steps to edit the Airavata
+website. This includes creation of new pages, modification, and deletion - for files
+and sub-directories.</p>
+<h2 id="how_it_works_in_general">How it works in general</h2>
+<p>The website is hosted in a Content Management System (CMS). You will not edit the
+HTML pages directly. The actual edit is splittup in 2 parts:</p>
+<ol>
+<li>
+<p>First you edit the content which is provided as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markdown">Markdown text</a> (mdtext).
+ This will be committed into the staging section (see the SVN commit mail with
+ your log message) and automatically build HTML files out of the the mdtext files
+ (see the commit mail with "Staging update by buildbot" as log messge).</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Second you need to publish the staging part to the production section (see the
+ commit mail with "Publishing merge to openofficeorg site by <your Apache ID>"
+ as log message).</p>
+</li>
+</ol>
+<h2 id="what_do_you_prefer_working_via_commandline_or_in_the_browser">What do you prefer: Working via commandline or in the browser?</h2>
+<h3 id="via_commandline">Via commandline</h3>
+<p>It is assumed that you have already checked out the code from the SVN repository
+(https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/airavata/site).</p>
+<p>Edit the file via your favorite editor like vi and finally commit via SVN:</p>
+<div class="codehilite"><pre><span class="n">vi</span> <span class="n">myfile</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">mdtext</span>
+<span class="n">svn</span> <span class="n">ci</span> <span class="o">-</span><span class="n">m</span> <span class="s">"My log message"</span> <span class="n">myfile</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">mdtext</span>
+</pre></div>
+
+
+<p>Now wait a few seconds so that the entire website can be rebuilt. Then:</p>
+<div class="codehilite"><pre><span class="n">curl</span> <span class="o">-</span><span class="n">sL</span> <span class="n">http:</span><span class="sr">//s</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">apache</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">org</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="n">cms</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">cli</span> <span class="o">|</span> <span class="n">perl</span>
+</pre></div>
+
+
+<p>If this does not work on your local machine just do it on "people.apache.org" by
+executing this:</p>
+<div class="codehilite"><pre><span class="n">ssh</span> <span class="o">-</span><span class="n">t</span> <span class="sr"><user></span><span class="nv">@people</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">apache</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">org</span> <span class="n">publish</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">pl</span> <span class="n">airavata</span> <span class="o"><</span><span class="n">your</span> <span class="n">Apache</span> <span class="n">ID</span><span class="o">></span>
+</pre></div>
+
+
+<h3 id="editing_in_the_browser">Editing in the browser</h3>
+<h4 id="prerequisites">Prerequisites</h4>
+<h5 id="browser_bookmark">Browser bookmark</h5>
+<p>Normally you see the webpage in your browser. To update this page with an
+inline-editor and little preview you need to add a link as bookmark to your browser
+(more information see <a href="https://cms.apache.org/#bookmark">here</a>).</p>
+<p><a href="javascript:void(location.href='https://cms.apache.org/redirect?uri='+escape(location.href))">Add this link as bookmark</a></p>
+<h5 id="apache_id">Apache ID</h5>
+<p>Furthermore, you need an Apache ID to authenticate to the system.</p>
+<h4 id="starting">Starting</h4>
+<p>Browse to the respective webpage or directory you would like to edit and click on
+the bookmark. Now click on the [Edit this directory] link on the top. The following
+is displayed as content from the CMS.</p>
+<h4 id="edit_an_existing_webpage">Edit an existing webpage</h4>
+<p>Click on the actions link [Edit] in the appropriate table cell for editing the
+favorite file. If the file is not in this directory but in a subdir, just click on
+the directory name (e.g., "docs/") to enter this directory.</p>
+<p>Now you should see a new webpage with a 4 fields:</p>
+<ol>
+<li>Upper left is the inline editor for text in markdown syntax.</li>
+<li>Upper right shows the written text as a permanent preview or as HTML source code.</li>
+<li>Below the editor you can enter a log message.</li>
+<li>Enter a general header text, e.g., the license of the entered text.</li>
+</ol>
+<p>When you have finished writing your text, check the "Log message" box, enter a
+commit message and click on [Submit].</p>
+<h4 id="create_a_new_webpage">Create a new webpage</h4>
+<p>When in the correct directory, at the top enter a name for the new text file (e.g.,
+"my-file.mdtext"). Now you enter your text (see topic above).</p>
+<h4 id="create_new_subdirectory">Create new subdirectory</h4>
+<p>When in the correct directory, at the top enter a name for the new directory (e.g.,
+"my-dir/"). Make sure you entered a trailing "/"!</p>
+<h4 id="delete_a_webpage_or_subdirectory">Delete a webpage or subdirectory</h4>
+<p>When in the corrext directory, click on the actions link [Delete] in the appropriate
+table cell and enter a commit message. Finally click on [Submit].</p>
+<h4 id="how_to_put_into_production">How to put into production?</h4>

+ <h1 class="title">Consensus Building</h1>
+ <p>In some cases there is no obvious path to take, or you might be a new community,
+or a new member of an existing community. In these cases people will often
+need to build consensus by making proposals and eliciting responses.</p>
+<p>We want to avoid unnecessary discussion and the creation of significant
+amounts of unnecessary mail that everyone in the community needs to read.
+That is not to say that we want to avoid constructive discussion. This is
+the lifeblood of a successful project. However, many ASF projects adopt a
+shorthand notation for showing support, or otherwise, for a proposal.</p>
+<h2 id="expressing_support_or_otherwise">Expressing support (or otherwise)</h2>
+<p>The notation used is "+1", "-1" and "0". It's also common to see "+0" and "-0".</p>
+<p>So, what do these notations mean?</p>
+<ul>
+<li>+1 means "I agree with this and will help make it happen"</li>
+<li>+0 means "I agree with this but probably won't make it happen, so my
+opinion is not that important"</li>
+<li>-0 means "I don't agree with this, but I'm offering no alternative so
+my opinion is not that important"</li>
+<li>-1 means "I don't agree and I am offering an alternative that I am able
+to help implement"</li>
+</ul>
+<p>Many people will use fractions to indicate the strength of their feelings,
+ e.g. "+0.5". Some will even indicate this is a "no brainer" with something
+like "+1000".</p>
+<p>The important thing is that this is not an exact science. It's just a shorthand
+way of communicating strength of feeling.</p>
+<h2 id="consensus_building_is_not_voting">Consensus Building is Not Voting</h2>
+<p>The confusing thing about this notation is that it is the same notation
+used in a formal vote. Knowing when something is a vote and when it is a
+preference is important. It's easy to tell though, if the subject does not have
+"[Vote]" at the start then it's just an opinion. We try not to call votes,
+consensus building is much more inclusive.</p>
+<p>The reasons for this notation being common is
+that when someone wants to summarise a discussion thread they can mentally
+add up the strength of feeling of the community and decide if there is consensus
+or not.</p>
+<p>Once there is a clear consensus members of the community can proceed with
+the work under the <a href="/airavata/docs/governance/lazyConsensus.html">lazy consensus</a> model.</p>

+ <h1 class="title">Lazy Consensus</h1>
+ <p>The concept of "Lazy Consensus" is very important in our project. Lazy
+Consensus means that when you are convinced that you know what the community
+would like to see happen you can simply assume that you already have consensus
+and get on with the work. You don't have to insist people discuss and/or
+approve your plan, and you certainly don't need to call a vote to get approval.
+You just assume you have the community's support unless someone says otherwise.</p>
+<p>We have a time machine (Subversion), this means that as long as you commit
+(or submit patches) early and often the community has plenty of opportunity
+to indicate disapproval. If you believe the community will support your action
+you can operate on lazy consensus as long as you are prepared to roll back
+any work should a valid objection is raised.</p>
+<h2 id="avoiding_unnecessary_discussion">Avoiding Unnecessary Discussion</h2>
+<p>The key thing about lazy consensus is that it's easier for people to agree,
+by doing nothing, than it is to object, which requires an
+alternative to be proposed. This has two effects, firstly people are less
+likely to object for the sake of it and secondly it cuts down on the amount
+of unnecessary mail traffic and discussion.</p>
+<p>Lazy consensus means we can avoid waiting for a community based decision
+before proceeding. However, it does require everyone who cares for the health
+of the project to watch what is happening, as it is happening. Objecting too
+far down the road will cause upset, but objecting (or asking for clarification
+of intent) early is likely to be greeted with relief that someone is watching
+and cares.</p>
+<h2 id="stating_lazy_consensus">Stating Lazy Consensus</h2>
+<p>Sometimes a member of the community will believe a specific action is the correct
+one for the community but are not sure enough to proceed with the work under the
+lazy consensus model. In these circumstances they can state Lazy Consensus is in
+operation.</p>
+<p>What this means is that they make a proposal and state that they will start
+implementing it in 72 hours unless someone objects. 72 hours is chosen because
+it accounts for different timezones and non-apache commitments.</p>
+<p>In this approach the original proposal is not insisting that there is a discussion
+around their proposal, nor are they requesting that the community explicitly
+supports their actions. However, this differs from assuming lazy consensus
+since it allows space and time to <a href="/openofficeorg/docs/governance/consensusBuilding.html">express support or objections</a> and corrections to
+the proposal before work begins. </p>
+<h2 id="silence_is_consent">Silence is consent</h2>
+<p>People may choose to indicate their support for the actions taken with a +1
+mail - quick and easy to read and reassuring for the implementer. However,
+remember, in a lazy consensus world silence is the equivalent to support. This
+can take some time to get used to.</p>

+ <h1 class="title">Voting</h1>
+ <p>Occasionally a "feel" for consensus is not enough. Sometimes we need to have a
+measurable consensus. For example, when voting in new committers or to approve a
+release. </p>
+<h2 id="preparing_for_a_vote">Preparing for a Vote</h2>
+<p>Before calling a vote it is important to ensure that the community is given time to
+discuss the upcoming vote. This will be done by posting an email to the list
+indicating the intention to call a vote and the options available. By the time a
+vote is called there should already be <a href="http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/docs/governance/consensusBuilding.html">consensus in the community</a>. The vote
+itself is, normally, a formality.</p>
+<h2 id="calling_a_vote">Calling a Vote</h2>
+<p>Once it is time to call the vote a mail is posted with a subject starting with
+"[VOTE]". This enables the community members to ensure they do not miss an important
+vote thread. It also indicates that this is not consensus building but a formal
+vote. The initiator is responsible for the vote. That means also to count the votes
+and present the results. Everyone has 1 vote.</p>
+<h3 id="casting_your_vote">Casting Your Vote</h3>
+<p>The notation used in voting is:</p>
+<p>+1 (means I vote positive)
+ You can say why you vote positive but it's not a must-have.</p>
+<p>0 (means I have no strong opinion, aka abstention)</p>
+<p>-1 (means I vote negative because of the following reason)
+ Yes, you must support your objection and provide an alternative course of action
+ that you are willing and able to implement (where appropriate).</p>
