Um, I'm a tad confused by:
<snip>
6) To publish to public apache site, to go minotaur and then
$ cd /www/geronimo.apache.org
$ `cat UPDATE`
</snip>
Why not just:
cd /www/geronimo.apache.org
svn up
UPDATE just contains:
svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/site/trunk/docs .
Which will pull down a bunch more stuff than needed for simple/
trivial updates.
Also, the bits about using backtick in this fashion seem very foreign.
I recommend we update the NOTES.txt to simply, cd and then svn up.
