ap-site is CTR :) My main aim is to edit the main site down a bit and get it more focused. I've been bouncing along doing that, bar illness and a recent focus on luring someone into committing on Taglibs.

My current aim is to refactor the current How It Works page; it's a 2004 presentation turned into HTML, so a bit dated in places. It's full of good content but is a lot to digest. I also want to refactor the /dev/index.html page. I've split the Infra parts off, so now it's much more of a 'ASF for new Committers'. Mostly I've focused on refactoring everything else and sneaking up on the How It Works page while it's not looking :) I've been struggling with the menu structure to start thinking about things. Here's what I had as of last pondering: How it works: For Users (rework of current page) The Legal bits (my legal draft page) Developing at Apache (parts of dev/) Being an ASF project (parts of dev/) I'm not sold on it yet. I definitely don't think "For X", "For Y" is best in terms of actual labelling, so possibly it's "Using Apache Software" above. > To that end, I'd suggest making a foundation/101/ directory, and > putting this in there, then linking it from the existing "How it > works" in the left nav.

As in Room 101 on BBC TV? :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Room_101 foundation/how-it-works/ ? :) > Please let me know if you have any additional edits to the content, or > you think it belongs somewhere else in the docs :-) Edits can come later :) I wonder if this page is part of a larger "How the ASF non-profit works". We do taxes, we file form 182189291, we have oversight of the projects etc. Hen
