I don't mind the inclusion of the general Jakarta links, but I'd like to
see it be more obvious that that's what they are. The first time I went to
the Jakarta page and clicked on Ant, I assumed the left-side list became
Ant-specific, since the whole page was printed, so when I clicked on the
"CVS Repositories" link, I figured it would take me to Ant's CVS. The new
"External Resources for Ant" probably shouldn't be included in the list
under "Essentials", since that confuses what that left-side list is (ie.,
general Jakarta, not specific to Ant). It might also be a nice idea to
have all the Jakarta subprojects' pages do the same thing, with regards to
the general list as well as to what section headings they have -- but I
don't know how doable that'd be.

I'll have some time, once I get my new computer more set up, but I'm not
yet up on all the whiz-bang stuff you can do with web-pages (but I can at
least help proof the text :)

I'll make a separate (and first) menu point for Ant and put the news
and resources links there. This is no real solution of course.

Just look around the other subprojects, most of them don't have any
links to other projects - just links from the "Get Involved" menu -
which is the right decission IMHO.
