Use the Edit link on any page to edit that page -- any changes you make here will be reflected immediately on the site 2. To add files to the website, you need to go to people.apache.org, our website is located under /www/openejb.apache.org -- any changes here will take a couple of hours before they are reflected on our main site. 3. There is an svn repo ( http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openejb/trunk/website/html/) - where we backup our site and that should be (is not currently) in sync with the code in /www/people.apache.org - need to fix that. The main page with <head> and <body> stuff is at /www/openejb.apache.org/src/vm/ . Here there is a velocity template which you could modify. However, change to this template file will not be reflected, that has to be updated in another site (see #4 below). 4. The velocity template needs to be modified @ https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/admin/autoexport/configuration.action . For this you would need admin rights (its a dblevins area). 5. After you make the changes, you need to go to the site in #4 and "Export Pages" to regenerate/export all pages. > > - Romain > > 2011/5/25 Karan Malhi <[email protected]> > > > Great feedback!!.
