There are variations on the theme, but the general answer is yes (also for the main Apache web site). The web site you see at http://jakarta.apache.org is made up of the following things: * Static content (stored in the "jakarta-site" CVS module) * Other stuff that is checked out from project CVS repositories (like the online copy of the Tomcat documentation) * Manually uploaded things (like releases in the "builds" directory). For the Jakarta site, we're temporarily using a "poor man's" template engine to maintain the common look and feel of the static content. Check out the README file at the top level directory of the "jakarta-site" repositiory (I just added a link to this for online access via CVSWeb) for info on what actually is required to update the site. Individual subprojects can choose to maintain their web site content through any combination of these techniques, and different subprojects do it differently. Ant, for example, could really do with someone interested in enhancing what is already there (hint, hint :-). > > Regards, > Chris Todd Craig McClanahan
