=E2=80=8BPardon my ignorance. I had NO idea that community development was
associated with an actual project complete with a PMC until I saw this
statement.=E2=80=8B

=E2=80=8B There's no mention or link to it from the ASF home page from the
Community section, for example. It might be helpful to have some additional
information about the importance of "community" stated there with links to
the Comdev website: http://community.apache.org/,
