-Building the website:
----------------------
-
-All you need to do is cd into this directory and type:
-
-    ant
-
-Modifying the website:
-----------------------
-
-To modify the website, all you need to do is edit the files in the xdocs 
-directory and then rebuild the website. The format of the files is fairly 
-straightforward. You should only add XHTML tags because the .xml files 
-need to be parsed by an XML parser.
-
-Changing the look and feel of the entire website is easy. Just modify the 
-site.vsl file located in the xdocs/stylesheets directory and rebuild.
-
-If you would like to add links to the left side navigation, simply edit 
-the project.xml file in the xdocs/stylesheets directory and rebuild.
-
-Place your images in the xdocs/images directory. When you rebuild, the 
-modified images will be copied over to the docs/images directory.
