I think that the bulk of what is in http://wiki.apache.org/ geronimo/ should move to http://cwiki.apache.org/geronimo/ I think that the KB space is really for stuff that does not fit well into other spaces (like docNN or geronimo), or stuff that is FAQ-like.

That was the original idea behind GMOxSBOX

Sanboxes IMO have an implicit "this is not baked yet" or "this is experimental" or "i'm playing around". The content in the KB however is just stuff that does not fit well into other more specific spaces.


It looks like the moin content is current a mix of docNN, FAQ and project information. I also think that we could probably merge GMOxPMGT into the geronimo space, but that is just a thought.

Merging one space into another is way much easier than spliting a space in two. I would keep spaces separated for now and then evaluate the benefit of merging. That goes for merging content directly into the plain geronimo space.

I think the effort is equal. Both involve editing each page and changing the space and/or parent.

Thought... the added overhead of managing the spaces themselves starts to become a burden. Generally I recommend keeping pages into a centralized space until the content warrants its own space, or the space is needed to avoid name collisions.


Did you ever peek at those moin importers?

I'm looking at migration alternatives right now.

Can we make an export of the Geronimo "space" in Moin Moin? I don't know how to do it. If I can get a copy of the wiki I'll be doing the migration tools testing on my machine.

I forget, but I think that there is a tool to pull full page dumps of the wiki content. Or if you know where the files live, you can copy them from the text dir.

I'd start with the moinmoin.rb importer that is here:

    http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONFEXT/MoinMoin+importer

And see what it imports into a personal Confluence install (w/ RPC enabled).

That will probably get the content close, then if needed we can hack the .rb to clean it up more, and then add any finishing touches by hand.
