Over the past couple of years the Geronimo project has discussed this
topic a lot. Now that discussion is settled and Confluence is used
for practically all of the project's user facing web pages -
developer wiki, user documentation, and the main project web site.
As you know MoinMoin is an excellent open source product and was in
use by Geronimo. Confluence had many of the additional features that
were interesting such as deep integration with JIRA, extension
support, several export options, WYSIWYG editors, flexible security,
etc. The main issues for switching to Confluence were migration of
existing docs and infra's position on supporting it. Search for
"confluence" in the mail archives for some interesting discussions.
Here's one:

MoinMoin%2C-or..-tf961477s134.html
Now after using Confluence for a couple of years I am a strong
proponent of it. I think it's definitely worth taking a look at for
MyFaces. I would encourage the team to poke around the wiki, doc,
and main web site at geronimo.apache.org to see what they think about
Confluence. The main costs in switching to it are migrating the
existing content and learning how to use it. IMHO successfully
clearing both of these hurdles requires consensus and support of the
team at large. The Geronimo project was also fortunate enough to
have a couple of developers willing to champion that effort.
Best wishes,
Paul

Do we want to "migrate" to the cwiki, that some Apache projects are
using ?
I am not really thrilled on doing the migration...
But, what do other think about it ?

Understandable, but currently the wiki does not really shine in
professionalism or modern looks. I stopped showing it to customers
after I
had a lot of negative feedback about it.

true,
I think we discussed that in the past;
I am not really interested in converting the pages.
So a tool is a must :-)
But my point was just adding new pages to have a bit more on "get
the
community involved" and not doing a wiki overhaul.

I prefer the confluence wiki used by quite a few other apache

such as http://cwiki.apache.org/CXF/.

I think we will continue to use moin-moin wiki, which is
OpenSource.

Hi Matthias
Looks real nice, but if we start doing pages like that could we
please
do something about the styling of the wiki? Before adding more
pages
would it not be real nice if we had a nicer looking wiki? JSF
is meant
to be a good framework to develop modern looking sites. should the
wiki not reflect that?

Hi,
I found these two site:
http://geronimo.apache.org/get-involved.html
http://geronimo.apache.org/found-a-bug.html
I think we should add similar version to our MyFaces homepage as
well.
It would also be very nice to have a page, that is similar to
this
as
well:
http://geronimo.apache.org/events.html
WDYT ?
