Looks like Commons alone votes on the website :-) I think its good Struts doesn't. > If I understand this right, we have two options to deal with our "main > site", which is basically everything on s.a.o excluding the confluence > exports: > - move to CMS > - maintain via svnpubsub > The latter one, if I get this right, is basically the same as we had > before with a changed transport - so instead of pushing the actual built > HTML with ssh, we'd rather generate them into a svn-checkout and commit > them.

Do you have experience with the workflow improvements to > expect, over using snvpubsub? The CMS is a bit ugly (forgive me cms devs, if you read that) but works very well. As website maintainer, you would create a "working space", do your changes and publish it. As it works on the back of svn its like a svn creating a branch, changing and committing your text and finally merging into trunk. It makes maintaining the website pretty easy. For example, you could look at the main Apache site. https://cms.apache.org/www/wc/browse/grobmeier-rtuhJr/trunk/content/dev/cms.mdtext Its written with Markdown. It easy to edit with the Chrome extension (don't know currently where to download). Ivan from the log4php team has made some Twig based templates for Logging. Its now used on the mainsite logging.apache.org. http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/logging/site/cms/trunk/ The content is maintained via the CMS. So you see, its possible to make some kind of good design with it. Here is another good link: http://wiki.apache.org/logging/BuildingTheWebSite for running the website locally (if you want some more geek stuff its not necesary)# That said, its kind of work to move it out from mvn to the CMS. My suggestion: move what we have now with the build we use now. Then we can decide if walk the next step and use the CMS for our content.
