Hi,
I was just looking into these issues in regard to the activemq and
servicemix sites. I really do like confluence a ton and would
eventually like to see be part of the ASF infrastructure.
What I would like is to just export the confluence content to a
static site. This would allow us to also enhance/style/aggregate
the content during the export so that nice looking project
websites are the results.
Can exporting to a static site be done today, or do tools need to
be written?
Even if we do this to overcome the Confluence performance concerns
won't that mean we still need to retain a Wiki for users to use
(hopefully without duplicated content) and therefore still have
Moin Moin running for Geronimo (until Confluence performance
concerns are addressed)?
You really need to get on infra@, there is some great info in the
discussions there. Likewise any insights on this list do nothing for
the conversations there.

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.
