Okay, I think that the sync that Jeff has setup will allow me to move
further on setting up the proof of concept, taking GMOxSITE and
GMOxKB and making them into something suitable to be used for http://
geronimo.apache.org

Thanks Jeff and Jason! Hey you guys let me know if I can help. I
open sources a stream editing library with the intention of
confluence munging, just Peir beat me to it :) But doing things
like "munging" urls is a piece of cake:
http://fisheye.codehaus.org/browse/swizzle/trunk/swizzle-stream/src/
test/java/org/codehaus/swizzle/stream/
ResolveUrlInputStreamTest.java?r=23
I could crank something out in short order if you give me an idea
of what things need to be updated.

Assuming you did have access to the box, what steps would be
required to get things setup? I know I'm asking an unnatural
question as I typically start my thinking while staring at the
command prompt and type commands iteratively till things work.
But I'm just thinking if we could maybe figure that out, we could
work with someone who does have access.
I'd also like to use this for GBuild and OpenEJB, so I'm keen on
seeing it solved.

So, it looks like there is going to need some convincing to get
access to the exported content, so that we can post process and
massage these spaces into our main website.
I'm not even sure that it is going to be worth the effort to try
and convince Apache infra that we need the access. Seems like
they are only willing to give accounts on systems to Apache
members.
So, I wonder if we could just run our own Confluence instance on
our zone, only use it to author, then export the content,
massage and then svn ci. I guess we could also do the same by
moving the spaces to goopen.org too, which will provide us the
required access to implement the site that we all want to
implement.
I'm frustrated... we now have a Confluence instance on ASF, but
we can't really use it to produce the results we want... unless
you want to see http://geronimo.apache.org become a set of
http://cwiki.apache.org* URs... which I find very distasteful.
There might be some way to configure httpd to rewrite urls so
that http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxSITE looks like http://
geronimo.apache.org and that http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxKB
looks like http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxKB, etc... but I wonder
if that is really worth all of the effort.
I guess we could use wget to grab the entire http://
cwiki.apache.org/GMOxSITE and then massage and check in... but
that is terribly inefficient and add more unwanted time lapse
between updating content to making the content live.
So, in short... I can't do anything related to making GMOxSITE
the official website until there is a way to get access to the
exported content, or get the httpd configuration changed for our
vhost.
I feel like we have a spiffy new Ferrari that we can only drive
at 5 mph... and as soon as you hit 6 mph it starts to hit you on
the head.
