+<h1 id="status">How to I update the Podling Status File?</h1>
+<p>It is important to keep our <a href="http://incubator.apache.org/projects/openofficeorg.html">Status File</a> up to date as our podling evolves toward graduation.
+Examples of things that should be updated include:</p>
+<ol>
+<li>When a new mailing list is created</li>
+<li>When a new committer is announced</li>
+<li>When the podling has made a release</li>
+<li>When the podling has submitted a new report</li>
+<li>Other newsworthy accomplishments </li>
+</ol>
+<p>Updating the status report is not very difficult, though it is not as easy as updating a wiki or a web
+page via the CMS.  But is certainly straightforward if you have a Linux desktop.</p>
+<p>First, check out the website source:</p>
+<div class="codehilite"><pre><span class="n">svn</span> <span class="n">co</span> <span class="n">https:</span><span class="sr">//s</span><span class="n">vn</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">apache</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">org</span><span class="sr">/repos/</span><span class="n">asf</span><span class="sr">/incubator/</span><span class="n">public</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="n">trunk</span> <span class="n">incubator</span>
+</pre></div>
+
+
+<p>Then edit the incubator/site-author/projects/openofficeorg.xml file in a text editor to add your new content. 
+The XML should be self-explanatory.  Just copy what you see there.</p>
+<p>Then go back up to the incubator dir and run ant to rebuild the site:</p>
+<div class="codehilite"><pre><span class="n">ant</span>
+</pre></div>
+
+
+<p>Take a look at the generated output in incubator/site-publish/projects/openofficeorg.html to make sure you like 
+the results.  Repeat the editing and running ant until you have what you want.</p>
+<p>When you are ready to commit your changes you do:</p>
+<div class="codehilite"><pre><span class="n">svn</span> <span class="n">commit</span>
+</pre></div>
+
+
+<p>Note that you will be checking in two files:  the source XML in incubator/site-author/projects as well as 
+the generated html in incubator/site-publish/projects</p>
+<p>One that is done you need to check out the changed html into the production website:</p>
+<div class="codehilite"><pre><span class="n">ssh</span> <span class="sr">&lt;apache-id&gt;</span><span class="nv">@people</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">apache</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">org</span>

+
