Hi Shinobu:
You are my bugzilla hero :-)
1) Actually, I was thinking of writing a new Velocity-specific "Get Involved" page.
2) With regard to the 1.4 docs, I'm thinking the SVN would keep the latest set of xdocs, but the website updater would manually copy in the 1.4 docs into the docs1.4 directory. Actually, I'd like to zap the "docs" directory and just keep the xdocs source.
Ideally, the 1.4 xdocs would be updated in a branch with error corrections. (not sure if that would happen).
3) I'm not sure what to do about the translations. Practically speaking, they're always going to be out of date. But I like keeping them on the site if they help people out. Any authors or users of the translations around and want to comment?

Subject: Re: site table of contents
Hi Will,
Having survived a difficult (if profitable) busy period, I've now started an ambitious rework of the Velocity site. Here's the revisions I'm considering. Any comments, particularly on the Table of Contents? The goal is to make it easier for new users to get started, to move community content to the Wiki, and to update/remove out-of-date info.
Appreciate any thoughts.
I'd like Bugzilla #34639 considered. http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=34639
OVERVIEW ----------------
REVISE SUBSTANTIALLY * Make software docs correspond to released version 1.4
Will there be a place for the latest in the repository? Or will that be up to the individual developers?
CONTENTS ---------------- * wiki content + outside content
<menu name="Community">
<item name="Get Involved" /> * <item name="Mailing Lists" /> *
## Of course, you mean "+ outside content" for these two. ;)
<menu name="Translations"> <item name="Site (Japanese)" /> + <item name="User's Guide (Finnish)" /> <item name="User's Guide (French)" /> <item name="User's Guide (Spanish)" /> </menu>
I was wondering if we should keep xdocs in the repo that the committers can't maintain. I'm sure the User's Guides work for 1.4, but what about the future? BTW, the Japanese site is that of 1.3.1.
Best regards, -- Shinobu
