Did you ever run or walk a Marathon? Or just 20 Km?
Or swim 10Km?
It is one step (or stroke) after the other or you get too tired just by
thinking about it.

It does not have to be you.
And I do not have to give a new idea since:
- Sam's idea looks good enough for checking code style and nagging the
offenders;
- Stefano work on Forrest might improve a lot the site. It will take a
couple of months for xml.apache to talk jakarta into it, have a couple
of flame wars, adapting tools and layouts, etc...
But the first step is taken and we all just need a bit of good will;
- Someone already suggested (sorry, forgot whom!) having a search engine
to help on finding information in Apache.
Obvious solution, placing at the Jakarta home page:
- A REALLY VISIBLE LINK TO http://search.apache.org/
- A simplified version of the form in that URL.
(It is simple to shorten that form so that it only searches in
Jakarta, or xml.apache, or Jakarta + xml.apache, etc.
)
Even if this did not exist (and considering the problems of putting
Lucene on an Apache BSD server) we could even use Google!
It looks like they are keeping their indexes on Apache up to date
(the new home page is indexed) and they have a free solution:
http://www.google.com/services/free.html
So, I think there are already a few solutions for the most immediate
problems.
Have fun,
