I don't mind the inclusion of the general Jakarta links, but I'd like to
see it be more obvious that that's what they are. The first time I went to
the Jakarta page and clicked on Ant, I assumed the left-side list became
Ant-specific, since the whole page was printed, so when I clicked on the
"CVS Repositories" link, I figured it would take me to Ant's CVS. The new
"External Resources for Ant" probably shouldn't be included in the list
under "Essentials", since that confuses what that left-side list is (ie.,
general Jakarta, not specific to Ant). It might also be a nice idea to
have all the Jakarta subprojects' pages do the same thing, with regards to
the general list as well as to what section headings they have -- but I
don't know how doable that'd be.

I'll have some time, once I get my new computer more set up, but I'm not
yet up on all the whiz-bang stuff you can do with web-pages (but I can at
least help proof the text :)
