FYI... I tried a simple rsync today to see how well the copied
content functions... and well it looks good:
http://people.apache.org/~jdillon/GMOxSITE
Seems to root everything properly, nav is happy, etc...
So... once the content is up to snuff, and we agree this is the right
direction, then it should be fairly easy to make this live on
geronimo.apache.org.
Only question is... who's account on people will perform the rsync?
And at what time/freq should that be done. I hope we can figure out
an optimal time to perform this so that the lag from change to live
is minimized.
And... I guess another question is do we want to toss the output in
SVN at all? Or just have a simple rsync, which will lay files ontop
of the SVN-base (we still need some stuff from SVN, like style,
images, plugin repo bits and some others).

I'm really tempted to hack the AutoExport plugin to pull templates
from URL's, so we can configure it to use a URL from SVN for the
template... and probably can even get includes working to allow
splitting up the template into more manageable bits.
But... last I looked at the AE plugin it started to melt my
brain... so who knows.

Just in case you don't know this is the URL -> http://

you mean the shaded frame box? I think the difficult part

Hey Jason,
I'm trying to catch up with the News/blog-posts on GMOxSITE
as part of the web site update. I created a few tests
(added News) but these posts take forever to show up. Any
suggestions?
Anyway, do you have any idea how could we port the *News*
we have on the live site?
Cheers!

Folks,
after lots of separated discussions on different threads
it is clear the spirit for moving the authoring of our
web site over Confluence. Let's bring to this thread all
the ideas and discussion.
Proposal:
The idea is to use Confluence as the authoring tool for
Geronimo's web site. To achieve this we will use the
autoexport plugin already installed and in use on the
cwiki.apache.org.
With the autoexport plugin we can customize the generated
HTML look and feel by using templates. The current POC
can be viewed at http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxSITE (thx
Jason D.)
Some suggestions (mine ;-) )
- Avoid JIRA references/direct imports, if JIRA is down
or running slow it will affect the main web site.
Eh... maybe... though JIRA should not be down or slow.
These are also static pages, which only pull images off of
the JIRA webapp, but we could remove the icon from the
rendering. I personally think its useful to show some
JIRA activity on some page on the website. Shows that we
are still moving even if the website content isn't.
- Remove edit/print/export links from the generated site.
Only Geronimo committers will have edit access
Fine w/me.
- Update the template L&F. Why not? It is a good
opportunity to do it !!!
Ya, probably some changes to be made... I like the Cayenne
site a lot... clean, simple... nice popup menus.
- Need to define how to integrate the other subprojects
web sites (consider confluence spaces too).
Aye, we need a basic theme that works for the main site,
documentation sites and sub-project sites.
- pls chime in!!!
I volunteer to start updating the content (matching with
what we already have on the live site), unless somebody
else wants to go it!
I will also look at some alternative templates.
I really would like to see this happen... so I can lend a
hand.
