Hi all,
We have an unbelievably fabulous collection of knowledge in the
Derby wiki at http://wiki.apache.org/db-derby
However, when I was working with the wiki during the 10.13
release process, I found it rather frustrating, because the wiki
is very slow to respond and even slower to edit.
Sometimes I would have to wait several minutes for the wiki
to respond to a page edit or page save request, and I would
routinely have to wait 30 seconds or more to navigate between pages.
I contacted infra@, and they responded with this:

Has this issue been discussed among the Derby community before?
Do folks have an opinion about what we should do here?

Thanks for looking into this, Bryan. Wiki edits do seem to take longer
to commit. I looked at a couple Confluence wikis. They have an
attractive layout and use a left pane as a page index, much like our
html doc set. I don't know how much work it would take to convert our
website to exploit that navigation pane.
Thanks,
