In principle the current system works, but let me ask it differently as well, why track issues on one product (netbeans-website) in a repository (apache/netbeans) which doesn't contain any related content (i.e. netbeans <> netbeans-website) to fix and commit to?

we don't track website issues there - thats the point, they are on the website. They are usually closed unless they are interesting. E.g I decided to not close the issue about missing images right away since it smells a bit like a build issue which could be potentially higher priority than just page edits.



I see it as being able to focus on documentation issues to the specific product and not clutter conflicting website specific issues where there is no real way of fixing them.

Given my netbean work is done in my spare time (which is limited

welcome to open source :)


- I'm spending most of my spare time on rebuild nb python plugin) and with my limited knowledge, I'm not sure if I have the time and knowledge to commit to it but with help I may be able to help some with mentoring in the process, then maybe I could try to pick up some of that.

"maybe" isn't good enough IMO unless we find more volunteers.
