Apache static content works slightly different. You can (well, soon if I get things done!) commit static files to the 'documentation' area of the project (now Incubator, each Top Level Project has one) and then the WWW server/system will pull that from the SVN into a RSYNC area on people.apache.org, and MIRRORS (not sure if any mirrors are actually put in place, but that has been the idea in case it is needed) will pick it up from there and make it available to the rest of the world. So, people will not hit the ASF SVN directly. Similar mechanism exist for releases, where you place the release artifacts in dedicated locations on people.apache.org, and the mirrors will pull it from there. (For releases, mirrors are definitely needed) Cheers Niclas -- http://www.qi4j.org - New Energy for Java
