The question is if we only want to move the documentation to docbook and svn, or the complete website? I think for the website it's easier to manage via confluence. However a mix of confluence and docbook is also confusing. > Does a committer after updating the docs in svn needs to generate and > deploy the site himself?

However docbook XSL transformation requires lot of memory. Kind Regards, Stefan
