ASF Infra is moving full speed to kill Confluence-as-site-engine and we should 
start thinking about switching to the new ASF CMS.

I've spent a lot of time over the last year working with docbook and am finding 
it really rather nice. Its advantages over the latest ASF CMS efforts are that 
you write semantic documentation, rather than crafting it into html around the 
design. This means, amongst other things, that we can easily produce 
pdf/html/etc formats. I have lots of examples if people are interested in 
seeing it.

I've also got the maven build scripts for producing docbook worked out in 
detail, so I can easily contribute all that.

The main downside, is that all the docs need to be rewritten. And that's lots 
of lots of work. The best docbook editor available is Oxygen Author (not a free 
product).  I'd be happy to set up the basic structure of the docs, the build 
scripts and a few pages. But I'll not have the time to rewrite all the pages. 
If the consensus is yes to docbook, I am happy to get the first part done.
