Hi
Infra just suggested that I promote this site:
https://comments.apache.org/
It is intented to be used by non-committers, to e.g. inform about typos and
such on our web.
We discussed it at one point, when this was initially rolled out. If
I recall, there was some concern that if we put it on the most
prominent pages, like home page or download page, it would encourage
vandalism or spam, or would be overwhelmed with comments. The dangers
of a page that gets 110K visits/day
But maybe there is a subset of pages where this would make more sense?
It seems like it would be well-suited for things like release notes
or building guides or SDK pages, where there are procedures or
instructions or other technical information that could be commented
on. But it is not clear to me when we would use this approach versus
putting the info on a wiki where users can improve it directly.
Another approach, more oriented to typo's, etc., would be to have a
report a problem with this page link that pre-populates either an
email to the dev list or a Bugzilla report.

Maybe we could link to it from openoffice.org
