Updating sub-project web pages (again)
I've created a directory in cvs for latka
(jakarta-commons/latka/webpages) with the output of the xsl transform.
If someone with a jakarta.apache.org account would check these out on
that box I'd be very grateful.
Or alternatively, if someone would like to give me the appropriate
access, I'd be happy to do it myself.

Good call.... I've made the DTDs public ala the struts style, and placed
them in the latka site under dtds. I've updated TestCommonsWebsite.xml
to reference the public dtd.
All committed now to cvs.
Again, thanks. Documentation is one of the most important things we can
do to help Jakarta and it's projects gain more acceptance.

one thing i've noticed is that your name has unusual capitalization in
status.html -
dIon Gillard
is this what you want?
also TestCommoneWebsite.xml has <!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM
"../../conf/suite.dtd">. i don't think that this reference will work on
the website.

Have updated the status page with my name, changed the release from 1.0
alpha 2 to 1.0 alpha 1 and removed the fix documentation todo :), oh and
committed to cvs
Thanks for this. Whenever you get around to it would be fine with me.
Thanks again!

if you can make any improvements to that document, please create a patch.

ok.
i've updated the live web site. i'd appreciate it if people could take a
quick look and make sure that everything's where it should be.
the new pages look pretty good - but there is just one (little) thing...
the commons guidelines state
"15. Each committer has karma to all the packages, but committers are
required to add their name to a package's status file before their first
commit to that package."
i believe that you've forgotten to add your name to the list of latka
committers in the project status file :)
(while you're at it, you might like to update the release information in
there as well.)

I'm happy with something that's easy for everyone :)

Read it several times...hence the major change in latka's docs.

I wouldn't know for sure, since I wasn't around when they were
originally set up. Hence the replacements generated using the stylesheet
version of anakia.

This sounds fine for me. I think Latka would benefit from getting docs
into a standard place, and being part of a regular update. Part of what
I've done is rework the existing docs and build process into something
that creates html from anakia's document format (via docbook).

Ok, I've created a new latka directory in jakarta-commons/docs and
updated the build file so that webpages builds will go into that
directory. I've built our documentation into that directory and tested
locally, and committed into jakarta-commons/docs/latka
If this is ok by you, i think they're ready to go.

i'd be happy to do so but i've found a few wrinkles so i'd like to sort
them out first rather than risk making a mistake.

(you probably know these two points already but just in case you don't...)
1. i believe (hopefully people will correct me if i'm wrong) that new
committers are no longer being given logon's to jakarta.apache.org. most
people who have been committers for a while still have their's but i
believe that the ASF would like to reduce the number of people with logons
to jakarta.apache.org. (which is one good reason to think about
automatically updating the web site.) if you do want to try to get a logon
then i think that general is the right place to ask.
2. you might find http://jakarta.apache.org/site/jakarta-site2b.html
useful in understanding the web page update system.
from looking at the directories it appears to me that latka's web pages
are not (in the standard place) in cvs but instead are copied into
position by hand.
i'm willing to copy your web pages into position but i won't be able test
them first. so if this is what you want me to do i'll probably need to
check with you exactly what's needed and which of the existing pages you
want to keep.
on the other hand, most other projects use the jakarta-commons/docs folder
for their web pages. they are committed into cvs and then the live web
site is updated from there. maybe latka would like to begin using this
system. if you want to go down that route, then i'd be happy to help with
that too.
the choice is yours...
