Jonathan, Points 1, 2 & 3 - yes I agree.
There are lots of people on this dev list who could opt in to help on the docs for the Java side. I know why I don't have time - because the 0-10 broker is taking #1 priority and represents a substantial investment in Qpid. I'm not the 'plan' person for Qpid - I share what I'm doing/what I know is going on. So I guess if there's not enough community input on the doc migration thats a separate issue. I don't have time right now, but maybe other people do ? I don't really follow why you want to move the wiki URL - that would be quite inconvenient for the links we use. I don't object to moving to the new website, but I'd like to keep a reference to any docs that have not been taken over.
