Hi ... see inline.
Well, now some quick brainstorming regarding the future of our MyFaces homepage:
- We should displace the current www.myfaces.org page as soon as possible. Therefore we should bring all the content into the new page. Should not be a great effort because already many things there (thanks Matthias) and "luckily" there is not too much documentation yet ;-)
yes, but for the components descr. (aka handbook) we should use a wiki
Do you really think so?
Having the handbook in forrest sources would also enable us to generate offline docs or a pdf handbook, is that right or did I confuse something?
So, IMHO, the better place for the docs is forrest. Of course some sort of docs would also be located in the wiki, but I would rather see these as tips & tricks. There could also be a place in the wiki where "junior contributors" would put their component docs, that one of us committers puts into forrest later. And "senior contributors" can also send their docs as patch to the forrest files.
- The incubator-myfaces page should also have a link to our main page
there is a link to www.myfaces.org, isn't it? or do you mean the *legacy* sf-site?
Yes, of course. Sorry, I overlooked it somehow...
- There should be a wiki for everyone (not only developers)
Right! for *handbook* and other stuff. I guess the guys at infrastructure will be able to create a wiki or the incubator guys? I mailed Ted on that, perhaps he knows more on that.
ok, thanks.

Does anyone know if we can run cruise control on i.a.o?
I've recently set up cruisecontrol on one of my project
and now I'm a
huge fan. I'd be glad to spearhead getting that set up if
anyone knows
who to talk to about it.
Thanks!

Can you give as a small "cookbook" of how to change the website? cvs, forrest, ...
Well forrest is an *easy* tool, doc for forrest is at http://forrest.apache.org (install, Tags, setup projects,...)
however, forrest could be integrated into Ant, needs Ant 1.6+. So I decided not to include forrest-task into our build. I guess some of you are using *older* ant (delivered by their IDEs...)
Should we move to Ank 1.6? then I will integrate forrest with your build.
I run forrest in commandline on my box I change to $MYFACES_HOME and call "forrest" after I changed the xml in forrest-folder (src/documentation/content/xdocs)
then the processor is runing and builds the site into $MYFACES__HOME/build/site. this folder contains the HTMLs.
To load the *updated* sites on i.a.o you need ssh-access (via scp) to cvs.apache.org (in short c.a.o)
on c.a.o the folder /www/incubator.apache.org/projects/myfaces
contains our website. For modifing you need to be added to the "apcvs" Unix group on the server.
I asked the incubator-guys for adding me to that group.
This moring
I looked at my "groups" and saw it was added. (Perhaps it is default... I didn't checked it sillily before... ;-))
HTH, Matthias
Thanks, Manfred

Hi all,
I just updated the website of MyFaces. See here: http://incubator.apache.org/myfaces/
It is very basic, but a first point. SRC for the site is in cvs (src/documentation/content/xdocs)
Regards, Matthias
