I wouldn't know for sure, since I wasn't around when they were originally set up.

This sounds fine for me. I think Latka would benefit from getting docs into a standard place, and being part of a regular update. Part of what I've done is rework the existing docs and build process into something that creates html from anakia's document format (via docbook). > the choice is yours... > > - robert > > Ok, I've created a new latka directory in jakarta-commons/docs and updated the build file so that webpages builds will go into that directory. I've built our documentation into that directory and tested locally, and committed into jakarta-commons/docs/latka If this is ok by you, i think they're ready to go. -- dIon Gillard, Multitask Consulting http://www.multitask.com.au/developers -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
