Oh, what I wouldn't give to be able to use Trac for Struts! Not only does it do, IMO, a good job of being a simple, nice looking wiki, but it is tightly integrated into Subversion and comes with its own source code browser that I find _much_ easier to use than viewCVS. That said, it probably wouldn't be as useful to have on Trac instance for all of Apache (since there is only one subversion repository), and you are right, the key is admin support and I'm not sure it if is important enough to pile more work on their plates.

We have MoinMoin installed on ASF hardware right now. (Of course, we
can use any resources we like. Things like wikis don't have to be on ASF
hardware if we want to host them somewhere else.) The MoinMoin wiki is
here: [http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/FrontPage].

I see a MoinMoin proposal for PDF export
[http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/PdfReport?highlight=%28pdf%29] but
searching for "export", "html", and "xhtml" didn't turn up any other hits.

Our old friends at WUSH.NET are using Trac, and it seems quite nice.
It may be something we could have installed here, if there were
sufficient interest. (Though I would hesitate to make any requests of
our overworked infra team.)

Confluence (made by the JIRA team) has an excellent HTML and PDF export. My company is in the midst of moving our own website over to Confluence, so that we have time to actually maintain it. I've fallen in love with writing in the Wiki markup language Confluence uses, Textile [http://textism.com/tools/textile/]. Eventually, I think we'll be writing technical books this way. There is no easier way for a geek to write something than with Textile and a fine wiki engine, like Confluence.

I don't know about the wiki Apache uses, but at my day job, we use Trac, which renders the most beautiful XHTML you've ever seen. It was trivial to write an ant task to crawl the wiki, pull down pages, cut the content sections out from the rest, and plug the body into another template meant for offline viewing. Since most of our project docs are on the wiki, this allows us to put our wiki
docs under CM with the rest of the release.

Also (if it's even possible) I wouldn't mind working on a plugin (not sure if one exists) that will allow us to publish the wiki pages for offline viewing as part of a nightly.....for
now, just food for thought.


Interesting idea. Getting the raw wiki content wouldn't be a problem, but replicating the formatting might not be so easy.
