It's not committed yet and won't be part of the 1.3a1 release.

I agree. Should we also put them in the webapp ?

BTW, how did you plan to organize the documentation ?
I think we have 3 kinds of documents :
- General features presentation
- User documentation, ie documentation targetted at people non involved
  in Jetspeed community but who want to use the software
- Developer documentation, documentation for the existing developpers or
  those wishing to join the project

It would be good if all documents of the same kind were grouped together in
the site-book.

OK. I probably will add a little paragraph on the overview when you're
done.

We will always need an administration feature even though the administration
screen is likely to change soon. For this release, I think we should keep it
as is.

It's necessary. If you don't know what to write on this, I can take care of it

Agreed.

It's now more or less a separate project which was supposed to move to jakarata
but it's not done yet AFAIK. Jeff can you update the iCalendar page ?

We should keep these. They are developer resources.

Yes. This is just a link page

If nobody can come with an updated UML diagram, I propose that we remove it for
now.

relativity.org seems down and I'm not aware of any other public Jetspeed server so I 
that we should better remove it for now.

I agree. I don't believe we have time for writing this up anyway.
