   <h3><a id="updatehome" name="updatehome">Maintaining project information</a></h3>
   <p>The <strong>Project Home</strong> page is the entry point for all project
     users, members as well as potential contributors. The primary role of the
     <strong>Project Home</strong> page is to highlight the project's mission,
     primary goals, current status, and ongoing needs.</p>
   <p><strong>NOTE</strong>: For a good example of summarizing project goals and
     status, see the open source <a href="http://subversion.tigris.org/">Subversion
     project home page</a>.</p>
   <p>Project information can be modified through the <strong>Edit Project</strong> page.
     By clicking on the <strong>Edit this Project</strong> link on the <strong>Project
     Home </strong>you can modify the information in each of these fields:</p>

 <ul>
   <li>
    <strong>Parent project</strong>: Use this field
       to assign a new parent project for your project.
   </li>
   <li><strong>Summary</strong>: This text appears in project listings viewed by registered
     users. </li>
   <li><strong>Description:</strong> Because the description field accommodates html formatting
     and graphics, you can use this to customize and add information to your project
     home page.</li>
   <li><strong>Public project</strong>: Make your project visible or invisible to other users
     in this domain.</li>
   <li><strong>Use project index: </strong>Use to assign an alternative home page for your
     project. See the <a href="#useindex">About the 'Use Project Home Page' option
     section</a> for further information on this option.</li>
   <li><strong>Owner message</strong>: Communicate with your project members and
     potential members using this field. See the <a href="#ownersmessage">Updating
     the owner's message section</a> for tips on using this section.</li>
   <li><strong>Addtional operations</strong>: These options allow you to manage additional
     project resources. See the <a href="#other">About other operations section</a>
     for an explanaition of each operation.</li>
 </ul>

   <h3><a id="useindex" name="useindex">About the 'Use Project Home Page' option</a></h3>
   <p>Your <strong>Project Home</strong> page by default displays the content that you entered
     in the Description field in the <strong>Edit Project</strong> page.</p>
   <p>Because some projects require more complex home pages, however, you have
     the option to store and display special home page content from a different
     file. The "Use Index" flag in the <strong>Edit Project</strong> page indicates that
     your project home page should display the contents of the "index.html" file
     instead of displaying description field information from the database. This
     file is located in:</p>
   <p>http://yourprojectname.this domain/www/index.html</p>
   <p>This file is part of the project's source code repository under CVS version
     control. If you check the "Use Index" flag, this means you must update your
     home page content by editing the index.html file, saving it, and then committing
     it into CVS to display the newest file revision in your project's home page.
     When you use the index.html file, you can include HTML formatting, graphics,
     and other more complex elements for your project's home page.</p>
   <h3><a id="ownersmessage" name="ownersmessage">Updating the owner's message</a></h3>
   <p>Initially you use the field to identify yourself as the project owner and
     convey project goals. As the project progresses, use the Owner's Message to
     highlight project milestones, list changing requirements, and identify particular
     resource needs. For example, you may advertise the types of development expertise
     currently being sought:</p>
   <blockquote>
     <p>"Desperately seeking experienced Java servlet developers with a passion
       for creating apps that will change the world."</p>
   </blockquote>
   <p>Or, you can give updates about the current status of development and what's
     coming up next.</p>
   <p>However you use this field, your Owner's Message should be updated frequently:
     usually once a week, but no less than monthly. Fresh messages convey a sense
     of excitement and momentum; critical perceptions to the growth of development
     projects.</p>
   <h3><a name="other" id="other"></a>About other operations</h3>
   <p><strong>Tool configuration</strong>: This link allows you to view and, if you have
     the appropriate permission, to edit configuration options that affect your
     project. Use this area to determine how project tools are configured.</p>
   <p><strong>Edit project roles</strong>: Allows you to view and manage roles
     specific to this project. More information on project roles is available in
     the <a href="/nonav/docs/ProjectOwnerMembers.html#addroles">Manage project
     roles</a> document.</p>
   <p><strong>Edit project resource patterns</strong>: Like the project roles,
     this allows you to view and manage resources attached to roles in this project.
     For more information, review the <a href="/nonav/docs/ProjectOwnerMembers.html#addroles">Manage
     project roles</a> document.</p>
   <p><strong>Lock and Delete project</strong>: Allows you to remove the project from view
     on the domain. For more information on locking projects please see <a href="#aboutlocking">About
     project locking</a>. </p>
   <h3><a id="aboutlocking" name="aboutlocking">About project locking</a></h3>
   <p>If you have received email notification that your project is locked, you
     should contact a site administrator immediately for further information. Project
     locking means that site administrators have temporarily disabled your project.
     This may be due to site policy matters, technical issues, or other reasons.</p>
   <p>When you load your <strong>Project Home</strong> or <strong>Project Edit</strong> page, you encounter
     the "Locked" flag in red at the top. All site-related project activity is
     suspended in locked projects. Your project pages can still be accessed and
     all existing project data is intact, however <strong><i>you and your project members
     temporarily have read-only access</i></strong> to the source code repository, email
     archives, issue database, project files, and documents. No one -- including
     you -- can commit source code, enter issues, upload or download files and
     documents, change web content, or subscribe to or modify mailing lists. If
     your locked project is a public project, other site users can still view your
     project's home page but the project is flagged as "locked."</p>
   <p>A site administrator must unlock your project to reactivate it. You will
     receive email notification when this action is taken also.</p>
