Style-wise, you could perhaps use a slightly smaller font for the headings, as they seem to be way off compared to the actual text. Perhaps the links could be incorporated into the headings (or the headings could become bullet points), so it becomes even more obvious that this and that information is something you should now choose between. >> - Broader and more explanatory/welcoming intro section I actually like how it's straight and to the point. The introduction should say something about "what is this page for, and why should I be looking at it", but not a whole lot more. If it becomes too long, then people will more likely tend to simply ignore the introduction. >> - Better and more frequent mention of this mailing list and other mailing >> lists. We need to make it really easy to draw people into the appropriate >> list(s) so they can start the conversation. I completely agree. People need to be aware of the mailing list AND the community site the minute they decide to contribute to Apache, as there's quite a lot of useful information to be found there. On a different note, there's a small error on http://community.apache.org/mentorprogrammeapplication.html wherein the mailing list address is written as "mailto:dev-subscr...@community.apache.org.html"; (the html should probably be removed ;) ).
And last but perhaps not least, the copyright notice should be updated to display 2012 instead of 2011 :) With regards, Daniel.
