Hello, all.
I've done this.
<Index.html>
1. Added direct link to "commons-components-list" on the table of
jakarta-commons.
(So, please keep the consistencies in components.html > commons-dev)
2. Created new table for the instruction to the related-projects
(Ant, Avalon, DB, Incubator, James and MAVEN)
3. Fixed misc. (e.g. Turbine do not have Torque any more etc.)
4. Added "Projects in Proposal" for the future enhancements. (Now N/A)
<Left-Side Navi>
1. Added direct link to www.apache.org (Apache Jakarta/Apache Website)
2. Added direct link to the "ASF Glossary" (Reference/ASF Glossary)
3. Deleted duplicated "Avalon" to keep consistency (Products/Avalon)
4. Added direct link to "HTTPD" project (related/HTTPD)
Sincerely,
Tetsuya.
