Hi Keith, welcome on board. Glad to see you as a committer. As a traditional first commit, could you please add yourself to the credits.xml under http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/gora/site/. After you check out the project, you can build it with running ant -Dforrest.home=/path/to/forrest. Then please commit the changes under author/ and publish/. The site at gora.apache.org should be automatically updated shortly.
