For durable content like a developer's FAQ I'd use the netbeans.apache.org website for sure. With the publishing process that you're working on (using JBake + gitpubsub) you have complete control over the content with minimal dependencies on stuff that you don't control. The content is nicely version controlled in Git, which also makes contributions easy using the same mechanism than for code. IMO the Confluence wiki is good for collecting content, drafting things etc. including allowing users to contribute directly to that content, but you only have partial control on how things look and work, and as the Confluence instance is shared it's often hard to customize things. > ...3.

Indeed, another big plus for the website for durable content - the format is well documented and simple. -Bertrand --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists
