+ <p>
+The purpose of Jakarta is to <b>develop</b> software, not
+market it. The Web site is functional and easy to maintain,
+since that is what the project requires. We do not have paid
+staff to maintain a consumer-orientated Web site. The
+development teams do the best job they can with maintaining
+the Web site for their product, but it is not reasonable to
+expect the same group of volunteers to both create great code
+and slick Web sites.
+</p>
+ <p>
+All of our teams are always looking for people to help
+with the documentation and Web site. Getting involved with
+these aspects of the product is no different than
+<a href="getinvolved.html">getting
+involved</a> with the actual code. Find something that
+needs fixing, fix it, submit a patch. Rinse and repeat
+until someone recognizes your hard work, and invites
+you to join the team.
+</p>
+ <p>
+The rest of this page describes how to use the standard
+Site2 module that we use to create the main Jakarta Web
+site, and many of the sub-project sites.
