Currently, the apache hbase website is built as described here http://hbase.apache.org/book.html#hbase.org We run maven site and then site:deploy. This rsyncs our content out to a dir on people.apache.orgwhich in turn gets copied out to apache frontends on a period.
Apache infrastructure are shutting down this publishing mechanism January 1st, 2013 and instead are offering two alternatives: http://www.apache.org/dev/project-site.html We could redo our website in apache cms format, option #1, or we could just keep on w/ how we currently do our website only instead have it published using svnpubsub tool (Option #2). I suggest we go with option #2. If we go this way, we'll need to have a versioned directory which has our latest site in it. Commits into this directory will be autopublished as hbase.apache.org. I was thinking that in our source tree, the directory ./hbase.apache.orgwould be where we stash our site. I made https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-7372 for the checkin. I'll start in on this project tomorrow unless violent objection. Input/suggestions most welcome. St.Ack
