It seems to me that the site/ structure was being used for that purpose.
That is also where the RDF files, KEYS, etc., have been located. Ok,
perhaps that name "site" wasn't ideal. But at least we're discussing this,
so fine.

When you are done doing what you propose, what would site/ be used for?

Clarify. james/ is the root for the james project. Is this just more
Mavenization?

I recall the former. Don't recall seeing the latter. Of course, we've had
a very high volume of e-mail lately, and I've been on the road non-stop
since September 9th, with only Sept 16-17 to even try catching up, and the
Incubator PMC report was a higher priority that weekend, as was working on
the code that Norman's waiting for me to finish.

And as I've indicated, there are a variety of considerations going into the
use of proper (including efficient and permissible) use of repositories at
the ASF, so this must be coordinated with [EMAIL PROTECTED] And, yes,
I am aware that as of 16 Sept, you started communicating on that list, so
I'll trust that you'll continue. :)

I didn't see those e-mails. And although I am sorry that you are
frustrated, the lack of an answer doesn't mean that you should simply bypass
ASF policy regarding PMC oversight and do what you want anyway. That's my
complaint. The rest is relatively minor, and I do understand your point of
view.
In any event, I talking with infrastructure to make sure of the correct
changes to have changes at the james/ level notify general@, and everything
else that isn't specifically defined notify server-dev.
