Sorry that it took so long Steven. This thread went off
to discuss whether it should be "news" or "events".
We can always change it later, but i thought it important
to get it into CVS now, so it is in news.xml (slightly
different to your patch).

As to the website, please reflect the modifications
yourself. Sorry, i do not know how to update the website.
Another thing that i must learn.

Wishing you all the best for the event, from a jealous
antipodean. By the way, it is excellent to see the pics
and bios of various Cocooners at

He can't reflect the modifications. Cocoon committers have to get it 
into the live site cvs first.

It's not difficult, really, just tedious. You need to:
- sync head and release regarding docs (at least I do)
- perform a build of the release branch to generate html docs
- check out the latest version of live site cvs (any commiter can do 
this)
at /home/cvs/xml-site/targets/cocoon
- sync html docs between your build and live site cvs (I use diff.) Not 
all docs in the live site cvs are in the release build. We have a few 
redirects, for example, based on old docs that were moved. This part is 
the most tedious.
- check internal links since you are merging html docs (I use a 
third-party tool)
- commit any changes to the live site cvs. This can be a rather 
time-consuming step, for example, when updating javadocs.
- email Carsten, Vadim, or me, (or Steven?) to update the web site 
(which simply is a checked-out version of the live site cvs). You need 
privileges on xml.apache.org to update the live site from the cvs.
