But in a way, its still missing a point -- because the other documentation URL,s, IE for 2.2.x, are direct subversion exports, with no voting on their contents, so its really a branches/2.2.x/docs instead of trunk/docs. I think the stance being taken understandable, but I believe the burden is being placed completely in the wrong direction. Make things easier to do, not harder. IANAL, but whats so bad from the ASF liability standpoint that requires voting on website content? if there is ever a problem, we pull it..... --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
