Hi Reto

An excerpt of [2]:

The infrastructure team currently supports two main mechanisms for
publishing and maintaining project sites:
- svnpubsub, which allows the static contents of a designated svn folder
(example) to automatically published as the project web site at
http://project.apache.org/. The project team can use any site build
mechanism it wants as long as the above requirements are met.
- Apache CMS, which provides a simple browser-based user interface for
editing, staging and publishing site content in Markdown, HTML or any other
source format for which support has been added. See the CMS reference and
adoption for more details. The Apache CMS uses svnpubsub as the underlying
mechanism for publishing a site.

Some projects still use a deprecated site deployment system based on
periodic synchronization of static files from people.apache.org to the live
web servers. This mechanism will be discontinued at the end of 2012, by
which time all projects should have migrated to one of the above site
publishing mechanisms.

-- end of excerpt --

Thus, if we don't want to use svnpubsub, we have to use Apache CMS. Or am I
missing something here?

Cheers
Hasan
