I finally got around to figuring out how to update our podling status page: http://incubator.apache.org/projects/openofficeorg.html
It isn't really too difficult. Not as easy as updating a wiki or a web page via the CMS. But is certainly doable, especially with a Linux install. My short summary, distilled from the podling guide [1] Check out the website source: svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/public/trunk incubator cd incubator/site-author/projects Then edit the openofficeorg.xml file. Then go back up to the incubator dir and run ant. If no errors then check in your changes: svn commit Note that you will be checking in two files: the source in incubator/site-author/projects as well as the generated html in incubator/site-publish/projects One that is done you need to check out the changed html into the production website: ssh people.apache.org cd /www/incubator.apache.org svn update When I did that the changes were not evident immediately on the website. Maybe there is some caching involved. It would be good if a few other PPMC members gained familiarity with these steps so we can help keep this status page up to date. And all PPMC members should check that page and understand the kinds of things we should be tracking, and remind us when we've done something that should be mentioned there. In theory the "status of the clutch" page[2] is updated to reflect changes in the status report, such as new committers or existence of an issue tracker. But this did not appear to happen. -Rob [1] http://incubator.apache.org/guides/website.html#Edit+your+project+status+report [2] http://incubator.apache.org/clutch.html
