Dirk said it's true and obviously there're diffrent opinions. I can live with the recommendation but I just felt odd about it because it's not along the line of Apache way and nobody is following it. >> On a related note, I noticed we don't have enough visibility >> for non-committer contributors.

Here's a tentative patch to add a few contributors to main page. I think the web site is lacking the detailed information about translation so I may come back with different patch later. The reorganization of translation page I'm thinking is: Add how to participate in translation If there's existing team for a language, join it. If there are committers for a language, send it to docs@httpd.apache.org is OK. Add how to add new language page (especially for 2.x because you need to tweak style files and build system) Reorganize participants list List commiters for each language Move error message contributor list to this page Well, maybe I should just write a patch to get across my points.
