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.

Very nice.

https URL in order to be able to later commit. But is there any
