Hi Luis,

if your goal is to provide snapshots to users, it's best to do the same
as Simon did for FOP: Set up nightly builds using Buildbot:
http://ci.apache.org/buildbot.html
http://fop.markmail.org/thread/ki5gbxpjucyxoa3q
It's just a Jira request to Infra away. That solves the problem of where
to place the build artifacts.

The stuff under people.apache.org is pretty much the old way of doing
nightly builds. I'm actually surprised it still works. But it's better
to do it on ci.apache.org.

Otherwise, you may actually want to work towards a release, now that FOP
1.1 is out.
