I spoke with our new developers, and they just got subscribed to the mailing list, so I'm re-sending what I sent earlier. If you already saw this, please ignore:
I think first priority is getting the new team promoted to committers, and > probably set as initial-commiters so we can utilize the private email list > in the future. But that can be done by the PMC I think. > > First up for the devs is the website in my opinion, because that will help > us organize better. I think we should go with the Apache CMS solution > because that will get us up and running quickly, and free us up to do other > tasks. If anyone disagrees about priority or direction, please chime in. > > Information for setting up a podling website is at: > http://incubator.apache.org/guides/sites.html > > Regarding podling websites, this guide says: > > Regardless of which tool you use, the web site should be maintained in the >> svn repository, and include the site generation tool as a binary file. This >> simplifies the process of site generation and enables changes to the site >> to be made by any committer. The generated site should also be checked into >> svn. This allows the generated site to be relocated to any part of the >> Apache site after incubation is complete. > > Since the site is independent of the code, it should exist high in the svn >> repository, e.g. parallel to the trunk of the source tree. > > > Previously we were going to make a github repo for the website, commit > there, and then merge that into the apache repo. Has a github repo been > created yet? If so, what is the URL?
