Q 1. I have a suggestion/correction to the documentation, how would this best be passed on to the developers?
A: Create a patch! (read
http://www.apache.org/dev/contributors.html#patches
http://jakarta.apache.org/site/getinvolved.html) Attach the patch to a bug report (
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla)
Never direct email (please keep all discussions on list) except for security issues
Dev email list? Yes (best to create an issue in bugzilla and then followup on list since the lists strip many attachments)
User email list? Possibly
somewhere in this Wiki (this can be good for some kinds of documenation which aren't really appropriate for the official documentation)
