I am fairly new to the Apache world and have been given the opportunity to be release manager for Apache Trafodion.
I have spent countless hours reading the Apache documentation; the documentation is very thorough but I have some questions and am hoping this forum can help. As part of releasing, there are a number of web sites that need to be updated, for example, the projects site: http://incubator.apache.org/projects/ The instructions state, from http://incubator.apache.org/guides/website.html *People with commit access to the "incubator" SVN can edit the source documents in the "content" directory. That is any ASF Member and **any committer on a current podling in incubation**. So you can all help to keep your project's Status page up-to-date, and if you find problems with the "guidelines" docs then can immediately fix them. If unsure, then discuss changes on the general mailing list. Note that the "policy" documents need special treatment.* I am a committer on a current podling in incubation. Therefore, I downloaded svn, made changes, had them reviewed, but received permission errors when I tried to commit. It looks like I need to get “commit access”, how is this done? There are also several other sites that need to be updated to add my podling: http://www.apache.org/dist/incubator/ https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/incubator/trafodion https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/ Does commit access give me the ability to update these sites also? If not, how do they get changed. I have reviewed http://www.apache.org/dev/project-site.html to understand the process of updating the project based website. Are there any other guidelines we need to follow to submit changes that I have not already mentioned? Any suggestions on how others manage this process would be useful. Thanks for your attention, Roberta Marton
