Hi Brian, Thanks for the info. I am already an ASF committer (Cayenne project), but other than the initial message sent to the committers list regarding the sandbox, I couldn't find much more on it.
I take it I can can just add my contribution to https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/sandbox/trunk/plugins/ ? Is there a standard place to put the site & docs or just my p.a.o account? Re: JIRA, how is that handled? It looks like all the maven JIRA items are hosted by codehaus . . . Thanks again, Kevin > -----Original Message----- > From: Brian E.
