Confluence export and rsync will be disabled by the end of the year.

There would be a a mechanism (IIRC Camel uses it) to regularly poll for updates 
and convert them in to svnpubsub stuff. This polling and conversion is IMHO 
brittle and prone for failure.

I think migrating to Apache CMS has a number of advantages:

  * We are in line with the ASF infra strategy (read "good citizenship")
  * The conversion is a one-shot job
  * Editing is as easy with CMS as with Confluence (IMHO once you get
      used to markup)
  * Less things to be maintained by us (nothing in fact)
  * Possibility to propose updates as patches through JIRA
  * The only thing we would have to change is, that only committers
      are allowed to update. So we would have to invite some docu
      people as committers (not a big deal for me).

I think we should keep the Sling Wiki in Confluence, though.
