References to Mercurial on page "OpenJDK Projects"

[Iris Clark]

Hi.

As Jesper has said, the Project (and Group) overview pages are not part of the Guide.

Now that the Hg server is READ-ONLY, I've updated the overview pages to use Git terminology.  I've also made a few additional changes to describe existing processes which have changed since those pages were last updated.

Thanks,
Iris

Hi Andrei,

The source code for the OpenJDK web pages is not available in any open source project. This project only manages the OpenJDK Developers' Guide. To report problems with other pages contact ops at openjdk.org. That said, I know that ops are already aware that these pages needs to be updated but have other priorities as well, so I'm not sure sending an email will improve the situation.

For the Guide I try to include enough information so that it shouldn't be necessary to read the outdated pages, but I didn't want to duplicate the mail template.

Cheers,
/Jesper
