Everyone that wants to join but is afraid to "dive into the code": I'd love to get some help for the docbook documentation (which is available from https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jakarta/velocity/docbook/trunk/). All you need is minor understanding of docbook, the xxe editor from http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/ (which is free and runs everywhere from Linux to MacOS and Windows) and some basic knowledge of Velocity. And you will have Will and me around to poke holes into our brains and get all the information out that you always wanted to have. :-) Best regards Henning >Hi, >We're holding a mini 'hackathon' for Velocity at ApacheCon October 9 & >10.
