Any links on the ASF wiki that link to Cloudera for canonical reference docs are bugs left over from incomplete migration of Flume from being a Cloudera project to an ASF project. I thought we got all of those. I guess publishing the docs that are part of the build to the website require project karma, but the wiki stuff should be easy for someone to help with (wink, wink, nudge, nudge everyone :)), but we should prioritize this. I would love to convince someone to help with wiki pruning / maintenance. I'll file bugs for publishing the non-wiki docs to the site if they don't already exist. > #my2c > > Arun > > > On May 24, 2012, at 10:29 AM, Eric Sammer wrote: > > Flume'ers: > > Flume has been progressing wonderfully as an ASF Incubator project lately > in terms of community activity, code, releases, and even docs (gasp!).
