Hi Doug (and/or anyone else who knows),

I had a few questions about editing the incubator website. I'm rounding
up some free time to take a pass at adding more introductory
help/tutorials to the main site (lots of which might just be pointers to
the Wiki).

How is the server that runs the incubator site configured? I gather from
svn info that people.apache.org:/www/incubator.apache.org/thrift just
serves from:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/thrift/site/publish

It looks like most sites are generating static HTML into these folders.
Is that a strict requirement? Is it possible to place any dynamic
scripts into the publish folder, or is it strictly static content?

Do you have any recommendations on a web development environment? Do
most people typically just check out and run on their own personal/local
webservers for testing/development?

Thanks,
Mark

Subject: website skeleton up

I put up a skeletal version of a website at:

   http://incubator.apache.org/thrift

There's lots to be filled in, but it's a start.

To edit it you need to have Forrest & Ant installed.  Note that Forrest
doesn't like Java 1.6 and must be run with Java 1.5.

   # checkout the site
   svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/thrift/site
   cd site

   # edit the site
   emacs author/src/documentation/content/xdocs/index.xml

   # re-generate html & pdf
   ant

   # commit changes
   svn commit -m "improved documentation"

   # update live site
   ssh people.apache.org
   cd /www/incubator.apache.org/thrift
   svn up

Doug
