No.. make the newmaint.wml into "index.wml" and put it all into a "join" or "joining" subdirectory. There is going to be more information than one page is going to handle so we might as well create the subdirectory now... Also, we should choose a name for the directory that would be intuitive to the majority of people, both in the project and not. If we need a seperate admin directory, also, that would be doable, too. Also, let's plan on the application page (the PHP) on NOT being in the tree. We'll be putting it into a seperate directory.. probably a seperate machine, even. > > So the proposed addition is: > > ./(TOP directory in cvs, namely webwml/english) > ./devel/ > /newmaint.wml (the entrance page for "New Maintainers' Corner") > /nmadmin/ (subdirectory) > /proceedings.wml (the "CheckList"/"Process description" page) > /step1.wml (the extended description for Step 1) > /step2.wml (same for Step 2) > /... > > I am not going to commit them into cvs until we (NM AM team) define > the whole process, but I think a kind of sample implementation may > be useful to get the better output.
