The reason we have output checked in is that that's how you deploy the website; it seems to be standard at the ASF, though I agree it's strange. The way the website is updated is by checking things into output/ (e.g. by reruning webby) Then log in to minotaur.apache.org and do an svn up in /www/incubator.apache.org/deltacloud - that directory is a checkout of http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/deltacloud/trunk/site/output If somebody wants to come up with a better way to publish the site, I am all for it. But IIRC, doing it via svn is the recommended way. David
