http://incubator.apache.org/guides/sites.html http://www.apache.org/dev/project-site.html "The website is published by checking out the content from SVN into the directory /www/incubator.apache.org/podlingname on people.apache.org. The particular SVN module used to store the website is a matter for the podling but it should be in SVN. People using Maven, Forrest, or any other tool still have to address the SVN publishing requirement that the infrastructure team has laid out. If that is done, then we just run "svn update" in that directory to load the site from SVN." >From my earlier e-mail (on sf mailing list), you have to pick the method by which to produce your website HTML. > Mentors - is it acceptable to put in a placeholder to redirect (307 > Temporary Redirect via an HTML redirect page) off Apache to openjena.org > while we boot up the project? Hummmm. I don't think there's a rule about that. But let's derive one :) I don't think this is ok, because apache wants to have an "incubation disclaimer" to make very clear to the general public that any incubating projects are not _yet_ in any way endorsed by apache, etc etc. At the same time you don't want such a notice on openjena.org -- I think you don't want to be discouraging users from picking up and using jena over there. Instead, I'd suggest something like (1) figure out this publish-the-website stuff (i.e. check in something to svn, add crontab on people.apache.org) (2) put in place a single page placeholder with explanation + link elsewhere (i.e. to openjena.org) (3) do the 'proper' website (more work :-)) cheers, Leo
