Hi all,
I did some minor tests just now, to publish (and modify) HTML content
on Xerces-J's documentation pages (i.e HTML content located within the
folder http://xerces.apache.org/xerces2-j). I tested successfully adding
and modifying a test page here,
http://xerces.apache.org/xerces2-j/publish_test.html (you'd see some sample
text on this link, that is not linked from anywhere else, so this doesn't
have side effects for users). This was done by a simple commit to the
location,
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/xerces/site/trunk/production/xerces2-j.
I referred following docs to do this,
https://www.apache.org/dev/project-site.html#intro
(*svnpubsub*, which allows the static contents of a designated svn folder
(example) to automatically published as the project web site at
http://project.apache.org/. The project team can use any site build
mechanism it wants as long as the above requirements are met.)
I'll be deleting the page
http://xerces.apache.org/xerces2-j/publish_test.html after few days
perhaps, after people here had a chance to review this mail.
I'm now confident, that I can update documentation within
http://xerces.apache.org/xerces2-j without any issues.
If anyone has any objections to this process, please let us know. In case
the voting for 2.12.0 release concludes successfully, I can publish the new
documentation at, http://xerces.apache.org/xerces2-j.
I still have to research edits at the location, http://xerces.apache.org/.
