                          |   Apache Gump Metadata Repository    |
                          +--------------------------------------+

 What is this?
 -------------

 This is the repository that contains the project metadata used by the Apache Gump tool 
 to operate and continuously build and integrate software projects.


 Where is the code?
 ------------------

 The code is located in another repository, to make it easier for people just to focus
 on the metadata and let the gump dev team deal with the issues of the program itself.
 If you are interested, you can get a copy of the Gump code from the SVN repository located
 at the URL:
 
        http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/gump/trunk/


 Who can modify this metadata?
 -----------------------------

 All ASF committers can write in this repository.

 This is a policy that the Gump project established to make it easier for projects to 
 help them keeping the state of the tree in synch with the various projects, without
 creating a scalability bottleneck.



 Ok, I want to update my data but I don't understand what I can do. How do I proceed?
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 The best place to start is to look at the other project descriptors for examples.

 If you want a more detailed description of what each markup element does and what
 Gump expects or can do, you might want to read the Gump Object Model documentation at

   http://gump.apache.org/metadata/


 Hmmm, I think I'm a little lost. Who can help me?
 -------------------------------------------------

 Send an email at "general at gump.apache.org" explaining your problem and you'll sure
 receive some help. Don't worry about asking stupid questions, gumpers deal with these
 things every day and are very patient people ;-)


 Thanks for much for your help!
