Hi all,

We currently use Confluence to maintain our site. At the time this tool
offered IMHO the best cost-value tradeoff between ease-of-use (for those
of us not born with the APT gene) and functionality.

Last week the fabulous infra guys now put the Apache CMS into life, see
[1]. This basically provides a user-friendly editing environment;
storing files in SVN and automatically generating the site on update.

Since we always had the debate on Confluence vs. SVN-based site, I would
like to pick this debate up again with the following idea.

We convert from Confluence to using the new Apache CMS leveraging the
subversion as a versioned store for the site.

Not only would this give us close to immediate site updates (as compared
to today's 1-3 hours delay) but also more stable updates.

Finally we could embark on another journey we once discussed in the dark
ages of Sling: Bundle the complete Sling documentation with the actual
Sling downloadable (e.g. as a docs bundle with bundle-resource provided
content).

WDYT ?

Regards
Felix
