Modified: . index.html
Added: . mailing-lists.html
Log:
Because the frontdoor of our dev.apache.org website was really messed due to
recent additions and changes I tried to clear it up by first putting the
mailing-list info into an own document and then sorting the remaining items
into a few topics. Hopefully now it is a little easier to find something...
