I'm with Bill. I'd really prefer if we didn't officially unofficially have official unofficial materials on a foreign wiki.

If someone feels the demented urge to use a wiki for documentation, lets use the one here. Or use xdocs or something :)

I think we should discuss if we want to move to confluence as our wiki



I think the move to confluence is an excellent idea and we should definitely start discussing this. Looking at the current wiki, I think there is a lot of great but unorganized information. Since M5 has now been released we expect and enormous growth in "users" and so I think we are are now at a point where it would be good to start focusing on the organization and presentation of the wiki and the move to confluence would be a good starting point to be able to do so.




We have a confluence space if we want to start using it. http:// opensource2.atlassian.com/confluence/oss/display/GERONIMO Here is an example of what we could do with it http:// opensource2.atlassian.com/confluence/oss/display/GERONIMO/Unassigned

Humm... from discussions over on infrastructure I see Leo and Noel have some concerns about maintaining a confluence install on apache.org. Probably nothing that couldn't be solved by a few volunteers.

Please don't send us down the path of hosting ASF project doc on non-ASF infrastructure. Nothing good can come from that exercise.



This is an old debate. Confluence is somewhat high maintenance and much of the infrastructure team remains unconvinced it's worth the trouble. The first time this idea came up on the Geronimo dev lists, I kept in touch with the infrastructure guys that posted and emailed them every couple months about it. This is the compromise we reached.

It's a confluence install hosted and maintained by the confluence guys solely for use by the ASF and administered by members of the ASF. Seems to me to be an acceptable middle ground for now.
