I am please to announce that OFBiz is now using for its website and releases the new distribution mechanism (SvnPubSub) offered by the ASF. This was a required step that the ASF asked the OFBiz PMC to perform before the end of the year and it is now completed; the projects that have already performed the migration (with OFBiz) are:
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/ To all committers: from now on, as soon as you update the content of the OFBiz website files in svn (http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ofbiz/site) they will be immediately published in our site: http://ofbiz.apache.org I have already updated the instructions in our svn page: it is no more necessary to ssh to people.a.o and then do the update. Therefore is important that the changes to the official web site are discussed and approved by the PMC: if you are going to update the site with relevant information (new pages or paragraphs, links to external sites, etc...) please make sure they are discussed and approved before committing them. The next big step will be to fix all the links from the OFBiz site to Confluence: by the end of the year we will have to remove them, but we can keep a direct link to the Confluence (aka "OFBiz Wiki"); the pages that are currently in Confluence that we consider "website pages" (and we want to durectlylink to them) will have to be actually converted into static html pages and committed to: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ofbiz/site But we will discuss this effort in a separate thread; we have a few months before the end of the year. Regards, Jacopo
