 ## Building the site
 
 The site is written in [Markdown][9] syntax and built into a static site using [Pelican][1]. The site is re-built automatically by [ASF Buildbot][5] on every push to master branch and the result can be previewed at [lucene.staged.apache.org][6]. Build success/failure emails are sent to [commits@lucene.apache.org][7] mailing list. Read more about the mechanics behind auto building in [INFRA Confluence][8].

+
 If the staged site looks good, simply merge the changes to branch `production` and the site will be deployed in a minute or two. Note that simple edits can also be done directly in the GitHub UI rather than clone -> edit -> commit -> push.
 
 > **IMPORTANT**: Please never commit directly to `production` branch. All commits should go to master, and then merge master to production. Note that it **is** possible to make a Pull Request for the merge from `master-->production`. If you do so, please merge using a merge commit rather than a squash merge.
