Hi folks!

Important public service announcement. If you're editing the ws.apache.org web sites, and therefore using svn from the command line on people.apache.org, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make sure that your umask is set appropriately. It should be "002", not "0022". To change it just use "umask 002" (you might want to put that in your .login or .cshrc).

This will ensure that the resulting .svn files are group-writable, which avoids the occasional and very annoying locking errors that plague site updaters.

Thanks,
--Glen
