I have updated the site a little (svn info in place of cvs info) and published the updated site. It may take a couple of hours for the changes to be visible at jakarta.apache.org. If there's anything else that you specifically want changed on the pipeline website please let me know. However if there are no existing apache committers working on this Pipeline component then it is going to be hard for you to continue development in the sandbox. The sandbox is intended for the use of existing apache committers. As Martin says, a group of non-apache people wanting to host a project at apache should probably be looking at working in incubator.apache.org instead.
