Local Website Development w/ Apache CMS

I added a page to the website http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/website-local.html

This explains how to do website development for the project on your local computer.

I added the page to the sidenav under Development as Website. There is a mention and link on the Developer FAQ.

Help is needed explaining the best way for a Contributor (non-committer) to provide a possibly large patch. See the bottom of the page.

Regards,
Dave

Good question. Tested and you are correct. Older instructions of which I am familiar make this distinction. (http://poi.apache.org/subversion.html)

OOo Instructions are updated.

I can affirm that a Check-Out using the https works whether or not one is a committer.  On my system, I did not need to provide credentials until I did my first check-in.  

(Note that this is not true for private/restricted SVNs where one must offer credentials to access them whether via check-out or web access to the repos foler.)

My pure speculation is that the https is specified in this way because of performance concerns around all check-outs and updates being done via https.  I don't notice that, but the server might.

Very nice.

But a question: I know that committers must checkout code via the
https URL in order to be able to later commit.  But is there any
reason why a contributor could not download via that same URL?  I
thought the authentication was only required at commit time.  If this
is true, that would simplify your instructions.
