Thanks for the feedback!

Looks good so far. The sections on Ant and CVS apply to non-Windows users,
as well. And you might want to include Maven/Jelly in the section on
bulding, which currently has only Ant.


I've invited Mavenites to contribute, I've not recieved anything. Since I do not use Maven, I feel unqualified to
write that section. I'll probably add one on Centipede and wait for the "enthusiastic" response that I'm sure will
follow when I mention it and not the other. Since most projects still use Ant, I covered it first. In my opinion everyone
needs to learn ant before they move on to the ant-based-tools. (Those help you later)...


Other topics for your list: What is GUMP (just an example, I know what it
is)?


Yes links to GUMP (http://jakarta.apache.org/gump) is a good idea. Though I hear its not very good (J/K) ;-)

The use of logged IRC channels for ASF projects (that appears to be
done on some projects -- is it generally available?). What are each of the
"internal" mailing lists, and what topics are they intended to host? I've
heard of some that don't appear to be linked from any page that I've noticed
(probably one for thie discussion, for example :-)).


No they are linked quite clearly from the page that says "mailing lists" (http://jakarta.apache.org/site/mail.html). however one must read the guidelines to get to the "click here" (or just have a keen eye ;-) )... Noting the location
in the text is probably a good thing to do. I'll do that.


In general, I'd want a document that explained the existing policies,
mechanisms, and best practices, including where to go for more detail.


That is for another page.. . Its pretty clear here:
http://jakarta.apache.org/site/guidelines.html

My goal is to explain what things are and how to use them Jon & others have explained policy pretty well in my
opinion. However, I've been informed that all of my opinions are ill informed... Including that one. ;-)
