About strange things in the website structure: good catch! I guess the site is just in the middle of some transition: dev_eclipse_movie.html and dev_eclipse.html probably should be under documentation, not under subcomponents/classlib. And build_classlib is just outdated and should not be there at all. We have the quick helps instead now + wiki for temporary issues.
Thank you, Nadya Morozova -----Original Message----- From: Sian January [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 08, 2006 8:34 PM To: harmony-dev@incubator.apache.org Subject: Re: FW: [build] Building on Eclipse - FYI Hi Sveta, Yes - I'm happy to take a look at that page. I was just thinking that if we remove the "Am I Eligible?" section we should probably make sure it is somewhere else. My proposal is to add it to the "Get Involved" page - http://incubator.apache.org/harmony/get-involved.html as I think it's more relevant there. What do you think? I have also noticed that there are two versions of dev_eclipse.html - one under documentation and one under subcomponents/classlib. dev_eclipse_movie.html and build_classlib.html are also duplicated and I was just wondering if anyone knows why this is?
