News link on Jakarta website

Hello,

In Jakarta website, on right column at top, there is a http link to News
with this url:
http://jakarta.apache.org/site/news/index.html

But this page (news/index.html) has only very old news. That is possible
to change this link by (for example) this page?
http://jakarta.apache.org/site/news/news-2010-q3.html

(Or change news/index.html to a redirection to a recent news page)

The link is in /site/xdocs/stylesheets/site.xml line 71

Thanks

Milamber

The instructions are for main index page, not for
xdocs/site/news/index.html (the old news)

In xdocs/site/news/ there is a README.txt which says:
"Do NOT add news to these documents.

New news content is now generated from news.xml in the top-level directory."

History commit (r378723, 2006, rdonkin) says:
Added instructions about how to add new news (using the new process).
The content is based on the public instructions by Howard Lewis Ship to
the general list
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/jakarta-general/200510.mbox/%3cecd0e3310510171208s16bf6531o1e3e2534f1e6844e@mail.gmail.com%3e.


I can bypass the README and update xdocs/site/news/index.xml and
docs/site/news/index.html with news from news.xml top dir
or remove News link (and rss feed) form right colomn because lastest
news are already in main page?

The whoweare page needs a fresh update (in my opinon). Perhaps do this?
* Memoriam (no change)
* Who we are (update committer list link)
* PMC: change by direct link to
http://people.apache.org/committers-by-project.html#jakarta-pmc
* Advisors (no change)
* Committers: change by direct link to
http://people.apache.org/committers-by-project.html#jakarta

Indeed, go ahead with any site changes as you see fit.

There is also this (not so up to date) who we are page [1] where you
may add yourself if you want.

The main index (welcome) page does have the most recent news.

However, I agree that the News page needs to be updated.
As a Jakarta committer you should have sufficient karma to be able to
do this if you want. The instructions are at the bottom of the page.

If not, I may find time to do it one day ...
