Patricia, Anyone with an ICLA on file can get access to confluence and add documentation. If you haven't submitted an iCLA, I can point you to it. However, all the river doc out there now seems to be the result of checked-in HTML. You could submit patches to that. Or the PPMC could ask infra to make a confluence area for river for easier infomal documentation.
I'll send you some links to Apache process at some point. --benson On Sat, Aug 21, 2010 at 10:12 PM, Patricia Shanahan <p...@acm.org> wrote: > On 8/21/2010 5:09 PM, Benson Margulies wrote: >> >> Patricia, >> >> Have you done much reading about the ASF and how its projects work?
