Just for the record (and I suppose we should put this in the FAQ):

The on-site documentation is always against the head.  The goal of the 
site is to engage people into the project as much as to encourage them 
to use POI.  Basically, as a developer on the project my goal is to turn 
all of you into beta testers and or developers and or documentors!  The 
documentation included in a paticular release or build is for that 
release or build.

For a clearer understanding of this type of project and software 
development I strongly (hell I recommend it for everyone!) recommend:

http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/writings/cathedral-bazaar/

Those interested also please read...

http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/getinvolved/index.html
and
http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/hssf/hacking-hssf.html

Some of the developers may keep "blogs"... I don't...I'm way to 
unfasionable for that, but they may be a good way to keep up with
development.

Also read the commit logs as they come in.  Sometimes they post to the
dev list...but it doesn't work very well..  Check out the unit 
tests!...have fun.

PS If you're interested in reading pure mindnumbing rambling that really 
doesn't deserve to be mentioned in this email you can read:
