It depends what you put in this changes file, and how things are released. ATM IvyDE is only an eclipse plugin, so I think keeping the CHANGES.txt in the org.apache.ivyde.eclipse directory makes sense. > > There is also LICENSE.txt.

It makes sense to move it under ivyde/trunk. Maybe it could be renamed to site instead of doc, since it contains the whole IvyDE site, and not only documentation (in Ivy core we have separated the site from the doc). Note that we will have to update the svn:externals property on ivy site directory to point to the new location. > > This is an introduction mail to the IvyDE build, but we mostly need a > documentation in the web site.

A Main category is like a page, you can add it using the + button. If you want to have a node with no content (like Ivy/history/2.x) you have to edit toc.json by hand and add "isAbstract":true, to the node.
