Hi Jarda,

it seems that you got tripped up by different mail addresses: the one you're
subscribed on this list according to the lists's maintainer Gary Benson 
is your
netbeans.org address, but the one you've sent this mail from is your 
sun.com
address, so it didn't show up on the list or in the archives. :/

(I can recommend using IRC for this kind of communication problems, as I
was able to quickly find overholt, mjw and gbenson on #fedora-java,
who helped track this one down, and they were very helpful.)

As far as the problem you describe goes, you're right, there are no 
instructions
to create .ssh/id_dsa on the 'Join' page. If you scroll down to the
'Get a Fedora account part', you'll see a link in the first line to the 
descrption
of the Fedora Account System 
<http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/AccountSystem>. Clicking 
on it will take you to
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/AccountSystem which under 
section
1.4.3 lists


      What is an SSH key, and why do I need one?

SSH <http://openssh.org/> , short for Secure SHell, allows 
cryptographically authenticated and encrypted connections between 
computers. SSH is used to tunnel CVS connections for the Fedora Project. 
Anytime you use CVS with the Fedora Project, the transaction will be 
performed through an SSH connection. Your SSH key will identify you to 
the CVS servers, and host keys on the CVS servers will allow your 
computer to verify the remote server, too. An SSH key is only needed if 
you are planning on contributing source code, working on Fedora Project 
website pages or using fedorapeople.org.

See Cryptography <http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Cryptography>

and clicking on the cryptography link will take you to
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Cryptography , which in turn has a brief
introduction to creating ssh keys at
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Cryptography#Creating_SSH_Keys

when it comes to uploading the freshly created ssh key to your fedora
account, I hope the way pointed out by david walluck at
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-java-list/2008-May/msg00026.html
still works.

If you run into further trouble, jump on IRC on #fedora-java on Freenode,
and we should be able to help you, and others at the NetBeans team get 
their
code packaged for Fedora.

mjw (Mark Wielaard) suggested that it's best to work with the sponsor, 
in your
case that's fitzsim (Tom Fitzsimmons). Feel free to contact me, too!

best of luck,
