<p>The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) provides a wide array of

self-organized volunteer groups and some paid services &amp; contractors.
Some services are officially supported and offer service level agreements
(SLA) like our website, mailing lists, and source code hosting by the
Apache Infrastructure team. Other services are offered by volunteer
officers of the ASF and and organized groups of volunteers, like
the Community Development PMC.</p>
<p>The best place to ask questions about any services is by contacting the
group managing that service using the appropriate mailing list. Note that while much of the work
the ASF does is in public, the ASF only <em>supports</em> these services for
<strong>Apache projects</strong> doing their work. Other communities are welcome to fork our code
or documentation, but the ASF cannot provide services for other projects.</p>
