I initialized a page for new committers here and will incorporate
feedback as it gets posted:
http://incubator.apache.org/guides/committer.html
Just a few minor nits :)
The name of the commits list is typically -commits (plural). I would
also suggest to prepend a hyphen to the generic names of the lists,
i.e.,
"Subscribe to the -user, -dev, and -commits lists for your project."
OK -- thanks for the suggestion.
In this sentence
"Become aware of what else is going on in the Incubator by subscribing
to the general at incubator.apache.org list."
the "general at incubator.apache.org" is a link but not the mailto:
kind implied by the text. I suggest to change the text so as not
to imply the mailto: kind of a link (along the same lines as the
community, infrastructure, and legal-discuss lists in the bullet
below). Ditto in the Questions section.
I changed that text to read "the Incubator's general list", leaving the
link to http://incubator.apache.org/howtoparticipate.html#Mailing+lists.
Btw., I'm curious if there is a recommended convention for the use
of email addresses on our Web pages: should they be obfuscated like
the one above or is it okay to use the actual email address?
I was just following the style at
http://incubator.apache.org/howtoparticipate.html#Mailing+lists . There
may be a specific recommendation buried somewhere in the posts.
Also, I noticed a typo here:
http://incubator.apache.org/learn/newcommitters.html
"signicant" should read "significant."
I added a reminder to INCUBATOR-4, which proposes modifications to that
page.
thanks for the feedback,
-jean
