+Website for the Tuscany project being incubated at Apache.
+==========================================================
+
+Website Howto
+=============
+
+The website is generated by Anakia.
+
+The source documents are in the "site-author" directory.
+The documents to publish are in the "site-publish" directory.
+
+Editing the site
+----------------
+
+If you don't want to RTFM and just patch the website a little:
+
+  -> edit/add files in the site-author/ directory (copy-pasting from existing
+     files is often a good idea)
+  -> install a java runtime environment or development kit
+  -> type './build.sh' on linux/mac/solaris/unix or 'build.bat' on windows
+
+you can now browse the site locally from the site-publish directory. Once you are
+happy with your changes:
+
+  -> manually 'svn add' any files generated in site-publish that weren't there
+     before, or set the 'svn:ignore' property to ignore them. Eg something like
+     
+     svn status site-publish | egrep '^\?' | sed -e 's/^\? *//g' | xargs svn add
+    
+     may work for you.
+  -> check the generated stuff looks like you want it to. Eg something like
+  
+     svn status site-publish | egrep '^(A|M)' | sed -e 's/^[AM] *//g' | xargs open
+     
+     may work for you.
+  -> commit.
+ 
+
+Editing Images
+--------------
+The programs you will need to edit all the files used on the site are:
+1: Inkscape(http://www.inkscape.org/)- Open source vector graphics editor, used for all of the diagrams and a few layout components.
+2: The GIMP(http://www.gimp.org/)- Open source bitmap graphics editor, used for most of the site layout components.
+
+The original sources for most of the images are in the "image-sources" folder. You should be able to edit these files
+and export them to the site-author folder so they will be copied over when the site is built.
+
+
+Publishing the site
+-------------------
+
+The published version of the site lives in the site-publish directory in SVN.
+To make this live, it must first be exported to a staging location on
+people.apache.org and from there it will be replicated to the live servers.
+This replication can take up to four hours so be patient.
+
+To update the site:
+  -> log into people.apache.org
+     $ cd /www/incubator.apache.org/tuscany
+     $ svn update
+
+and wait ...
