I agree. It would be nice if it was a jakarta-wide thing, not just Commons. The list of current committers can be determined by logging on to cvs.apache.org (icarus), and typing: cat /home/cvs/CVSROOT/avail | grep jakarta-commons Resulting in: avail|morgand,husted,conor,geirm,costin,remm,vmassol,craigmcc,nacho,rwaldhoff,jvanzyl,donaldp,jericho,sanders,jstrachan,dmitri,jariw,dirkv,dsale,martinc,bayard,dwinterfeldt,rdonkin,jefft|jakarta-commons avail|morgand,husted,conor,geirm,costin,remm,vmassol,craigmcc,nacho,rwaldhoff,dweinr1,jvanzyl,sanders,donaldp,jericho,jstrachan,mschachter,dmitri,werken,dlr,knielsen,jon,leonardr,dsale,bayard,martinc,oalexeev,rdonkin,hammant,jefft|jakarta-commons-sandbox It would be easy to set up a cron job to transform the 'avail' file into a set of publicly accessible XML files, one for each project, containing names of committers. Projects could then have an Ant task to fetch this info: <get src="http://jakarta.apache.org/"; dest="committers/${name}.xml"/> And then integrate it with the regular project docs, via <style>/Anakia/Cocoon/whatever. The only practical difficulty is that CVS is on a different box from the website, so things would have to be done via ssh and scp. I can do the script if people think this is a good idea. --Jeff > - robert > -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
