The important thing is the website is easy for the committers to maintain over time.
AFAIK, all of the Apache sites are built from XML, either using XLST, Maven, Forrest, or the equivalent. This approach is not a rule, but it might be categorized as a strong preference. We can verify and check in the XML and then run a process that builds the site. Some sites now use automated processes that automatically repost the site when there is a checkin. Since we don't have a repository setup right now, the XML source has been checked into WUSH.NET. If any committer who wants an account to our WUSH.NET site, just ask. They are very simple to create. All the committers should already have ssh access to our incubator site, and so any one of us can checkout the source, run the Forrest build, and update the site. Right now, we're using a standard Forrest template, like that used by a number of Apache projects, which, I might add, seem to have no shortage of users :) -Ted.
