Yes, and I think it's a fair approach to take. Here's how I see things going forward.. 1) Towards Confluence as a direct MoinMoin alternative Infrastructure@ want some decent benchmarks demonstrating that Confluence can survive sustained heavy load (ala MoinMoin) and/or spikes (slashdot). Noel rightly says caching is essential. Briefly experimenting with 'ab -c 100 -n 1000' suggests that Confluence's internal caching may be enough. I'll ask the Confluence team if they can produce some benchmarks. 2) Confluence as doc staging/development environment There are various ways to suck content from Confluence to a live site: - Maven has Doxia in development. - Codehaus have a Perl script (Confluenza) which sucks down content via XML-RPC to build their website. - Pier is working on a Confluence plugin that saves static HTML. - Anyone can rig up a script using Confluence's XML-RPC/SOAP API. Confluence does not have to be running on ASF hardware for its use as a doc staging environment. Some projects might use the Codehaus Confluence, some use http://opensource2.atlassian.com/confluence/oss/. It would be nice if the ASF had an internal Confluence installation for doc staging, and that's what I proposed Atlassian would sponsor a box (partly) for. --Jeff > -- > Joe Schaefer
