Sorry, I meant to say, "Since I DO NOT have extensive knowledge of the
project...,
I need assistance."
Note that I have received some assistance from 2 community members who are
external to Sun, which has been helpful. However, piecing
together information from various sources through email
for a project that has this amount of impact to documentation, is not ideal.
Is there a contact at Sun, who is working through the usual channels that
can provide some assistance with required updates?
Thanks much!
