quick quick quick you are Mr. !!! ;-)
As I said before, a quick fix would be to either add a link or a redirect to
the cwiki (same thing we have for GBuild) and remove, for now, the xbean
directory in /www/geronimo.apache.org
(temporary solution till we sort out confluence reorg and plugin issues)
If no one objects I would just add a link to the cwiki.
Can somebody stop the crontab, if we temporarily use the external link there is
no point in continue having this process running.
Can you tell me how the XBean space is organized?
An index.html (autoexported) seems to be missing, do you mind if I create one?
As for me helping out, well I'm volunteering to move into production Geronimo's
website authored with Confluence. That's where we all want to be, right?
Confluence? as well as help out integrating the other subproject spaces so we
deliver a consistent message all across the site.
There is no point in migrating autoexported HTML to xdoc and then back to
confluence. That's why I'm suggesting to have a link pointing to the cwiki
autoexported space.
As for maintaining going forward, there isn't much I can do to consciously
update any of the subprojects sites, I'm simply not *that* aware of the
day-to-day or *need to communicate* news. It wouldn't make much more sense if I
do the updates, would it!? ;-) What did you have in mind?
Once we fix the plugin issues and go live with the autoexported Geronimo web
site we could then consolidate into Geronimo's space (GMOxSITE) all the other
subprojects web site spaces. Copy (or maybe just reference if at all possible)
GBuild and XBean confluence spaces into GMOxSITE. How does that sound?
Any volunteers to tackle some of the issues with the autoexport plugin?
the sooner we fix these the sooner we'll have the *one-for-all* authoring tool
!!!
Cheers!

Guillaume,
continuing our conversation, now on dev@, I'll reissue some of my
previous comments (just my observations, hopefully it still will make
sense ;-) )
The XBean folks are using Confluence to maintain their site but we
(Geronimo) are not. We still use xdocs and ant script to build our
site. The source for Geronimo's web site is on svn.
We are not using Confluence for Geronimo's web site due to some issues
with the autoexport plugin. Until we address those issues, vote and
mover over Confluence, IMO, the subprojects listed under Geronimo's
web site URL ( geronimo.apache.org/XYZ_project ) should use the same
build method we use and be part of Geronimo's web site svn repo.
So far we have three subprojects listed and they are integrated in
three different ways:
1.- Development Tools : part of main web site src and build process
(ideal)
2.- GBuild : link to cwiki (external link, no real
integration but not disruptive either)
3.- XBean : bypass svn repo and copied directly into
/www/geronimo.apache.org/xbean (IMO, *really really bad practice*)
The way it is explained in the link you are pointing out
(http://cwiki.apache.org/CWIKI/) goes well if you don't have the other
half of your website already in production and authored with a totally
different method.
The fastest way to fix this would be to have an external link to XBean
cwiki. Similar to what we have with GBuild. However this does not
address the integration issue.
We add subprojects to an existing structure/process and these new
subprojects, I think, should adapt to the current procedures in place.
What I do consider a *really bad practice* is a melange of methods for
authoring the web site. I consider XBean part of the Geronimo site
since it's URL is geronimo.apache.org/xbean
The xbean piece of the site does not match the template used for the
Geronimo site, it is similar but not the same. I think we are
projecting an inconsistent web site image.
Bottom line, I think we should be consistent in the way we present the
web site and the way we maintain it.
Again, if I missed or totally forgot the discussion about this pls let
me know, I would really appreciate if some one can point me to it.
Comments?
Cheers!
