Geir,

Do you think it might be easier to use Wiki as storage for all FAQs like
that for now? I mean, not all of those who help find FAQ entries have
ever checked out the website and would be willing to make patches to a
FAQ.xml page. Wiki is easier to use when we're accumulating info. We
could then select the most typical and/or persistent issues and make
them appear on the website.
(I remember your proposal on having 2 FAQs: Wiki + website page).

Right - that's what I suggested. We have the faq start on the website, and then at the bottome, like to the wikiFaq, so that people can just add there w/o having to do a patch. Then harvest the good stuff that comes to the wikiFaq back into the website....

Does that make sense?

Best regards,
Nadya Morozova

btw, this isn't a bad element for the FAQ :)

Geir,
Why do we need an example with "ant populate_source"  and
"working_*" dirs ?
Why just not to tell something like: the advise is to copy the
clean harmony
directories into a separate folder(e.g. harmony_mypatch) and build it
there. Doing this you can avoid to do complete checkout again when
you need
to prototype a new feature.
?

As discussed earlier today, there are now two new "Getting Started"
guides on the website, accessible from the homepage.

   http://incubator.apache.org/harmony/quickhelp_users.html

   http://incubator.apache.org/harmony/quickhelp_contributors.html

There is still more work to do - for example, we need to fill in the
lists of tools needed and dependencies.  (I'll add a fresh Ubuntu VM
in Parallels tomorrow and work though all the deps that need to be
added....)

Give a read, test it out, and comment...
