This is a bit off topic, but I wanted to know how the Cayenne web site is generated from Confluence, it is only part of the site the /docs or is it the whole thing?
Every time a page is edited a plugin to Confluence runs which exports that page to a folder on people.apache.org. That gets rysnced to the web site every hour or so. That plugin is where the site design is applied to the pages as well, as it allowed for a templated output, however there are a bunch of limitations in the templates so we should keep an eye out for improvements there.
The other limitation is that it appears pages are never deleted by this mechanism and that indirect changes do not have effect. For instance new news on the front page does not seem to appear unless you 'touch' the front page to have it regenerate.
The Confluence spaces: CAYDOC, CAYDOC12, CAYDOC2, CAYSITE are all exported in this way. There is a little script which puts them all into the right places within the html folder.
The other part of the site is the Javadocs for trunk (3.0) which are generated nightly by a script on people.apache.org.
