 ## Working with the Docs
 
 The THREDDS project utilizes Jekyll for building and organizing documentation.
-We use JRuby to run Jekyll, and have included into our gradle build system.
-Jekyll can build an html based documentation set for publication on the web, which we run in an automated fashon and publish to our nexus server with each github commit.
+We use Docker to run Jekyll, and have included into our gradle build system.
+Jekyll can build an html based documentation set for publication on the web.
 Jekyll also has the capability to stand up a local webserver to allow for live editing of the documentation.
 Simply execute the following from the command line at the top level of the github repo:

 ## Publishing
 
 NetCDF-Java comprises several modules, many of which you can use within your own projects, as described [here](using_netcdf_java_artifacts.html).
-At Unidata, we publish the artifacts that those modules generate to our Nexus repository.
+At Unidata, we publish the artifacts that those modules generate to our artifacts repository.
 
-However, it may happen that you need artifacts for the in-development version of netCDF-Java in your local branch, which we usually don’t upload to Nexus.
+However, it may happen that you need artifacts for the in-development version of netCDF-Java in your local branch, which we usually don’t upload to the artifacts' server.
 We do publish nightly SNAPSHOTS, but those may not have the development changes you are currently working on. 
 Never fear: you can build them yourself and publish them to your local Maven repository!
