Re: Updated Apache Ant listing in the EOS Directory

[Bruce Atherton <br...@callenish.com>]

Hi, Ryck.

The Ant developer mailing list is probably the best place to post 
messages that are meant to address the community of Ant committers. This 
would likely be true of many other open source projects, as well. I've 
cced the mailing list so that others have a chance to review your Ant 
page and offer any information to enhance it. If you don't wish to 
become a member of the mailing list, you can follow any subsequent 
conversation by reading the archives[1].

I think that where a link to your site would make the most sense on the 
Ant site is on the Ant resources page[2] and/or the ExternalResources 
Wiki page[3]. Typically, you would provide a patch for the resources 
page in order to make that happen.

I hope that helps.

Re: Updated Apache Ant listing in the EOS Directory

It's sometimes hard to know where to start when trying to contact a open source project for non-development issues. 

Thanks very much for your suggestions and advice!
