Thats true. The complete generated website needs to be checked in. In
case of an error, a simple svn co should be able to restore it. The
logging project called their folder "/site", but your proposal is fine
anyway.

Here is some more information on a good podling sitep:
http://incubator.apache.org/guides/sites.html

It also describes the location the zeta site. I have prepared the
folder for it already.

I also would like to mention, that Zeta Components is currently not a
full Apache project, its in incubation phase. I think its worth
mentioning this state on the website. Usually podlings write something
like:"Apache Zeta Components is currently underunning incubation..."
or similar. This makes clear that things change and some things like
copyright or licensing stuff need to be sorted out.

Additionally some podlings (or those I know) add the Incubation logo somewhere:
http://incubator.apache.org/images/apache-incubator-logo.png

I don't think its necessary, but I like it because of mentioned
reasons. Also its a good ad for the Incubator project of course :-)

Just out of curiosity - what tool did you use for generating the site?

Best regards,
Christian
