Sorry if i sound frustrated today. When ftpserver sprang back to life recently we started getting svn commit mails coming to the general@ list. This was a sign that an old project was not configured the same way that the newer ones are.
After one of my messages to general, Rana contacted me offlist and i explained what need to happen with the website side of things. Not sure about their mail lists. I also requested not to do offlist email, because now i cannot refer back to that effort. Will try again: The instructions are at http://incubator.apache.org/howtoparticipate.html#Project+Website+Howto (Yes they need to be improved. I will try that after this message.) The source documents for your project website: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/ftpserver/trunk/ The generated documents for your project website: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/ftpserver/site/ Make sure that your subversion client is properly configured. This vastly reduces the amount of traffic on the svn email commits, e.g. *.pdf http://www.apache.org/dev/#svn http://www.apache.org/dev/version-control.html#https-svn ssh people.apache.org cd /www/incubator.apache.org/ftpserver svn update Rana Bhattacharyya wrote: > > It is true that I have not checked-in the latest > generated project pages in SVN.

A lot of projects don't put javadocs in their SVN, just manually add them to the webserver each time that you regenerate them. Just have an empty directory in your site svn. (If committers want to help with better ways to generate and maintain javadocs et al, then come to the site-dev mailing list.) http://www.apache.org/dev/infra-mail.html > I got few mails to minimize the > SVN footprint.

It is then a lot easier for people who are unfamiliar with your project or website, to help fix it, like we needed to do today. > 3.
