since the incubator project is supposed to 'train' new committers and to-be committers, i think that it would be a good project to take at least initial responsibility for drafting these documents (and yes, it's an excellent idea). i'm going to be doing a bunch of writing and cross-referencing and putting the results there and asking for comment from the community; then pushing them up to the www.apache.org site once people are agreed that they contain the right message and information would seem a logical next step. -- #ken P-)} Ken Coar, Sanagendamgagwedweinini http://Golux.Com/coar/ Author, developer, opinionist http://Apache-Server.Com/ "Millennium hand and shrimp!"
