jakarta website cvs module WAS: RE: [SUBMIT] Enhanced Tstamp

[Chris Todd <ch...@christophertodd.com>]

Jon-

Really - is that all that is necessary to make docs and website
contributions?  I didn't even know the jakarta website was a cvs module.  Is
this type of arrangement set up for most jakarta projects?  How about
java.apache.org and xml.apache.org projects as well?

Regards,
Chris Todd

There are variations on the theme, but the general answer is yes (also
for the main Apache web site).

The web site you see at http://jakarta.apache.org is made up of the
following
things:

* Static content (stored in the "jakarta-site" CVS module)

* Other stuff that is checked out from project CVS repositories
  (like the online copy of the Tomcat documentation)

* Manually uploaded things (like releases in the "builds" directory).

For the Jakarta site, we're temporarily using a "poor man's" template
engine to maintain the common look and feel of the static content. 
Check out the README file at the top level directory of the
"jakarta-site" repositiory (I just added a link to this for online
access via CVSWeb) for info on what actually is required to update the
site.

Individual subprojects can choose to maintain their web site content
through any combination of these techniques, and different subprojects
do it differently.  Ant, for example, could really do with someone
interested in enhancing what is already there (hint, hint :-).

java.apache.org has it under a module java_apache_org_site or something
like that ;)
