And what's the point at which the cost of doing this exceeds the cost of
switching to a proper tool?  I see Confluence as an impediment to writing
documentation; it is very slow, the markup language is poorly thought out
and idiosyncratic, and the publishing mechanism is
chewing-gum-and-bailing-wire.

I would prefer a tool that treated documentation source as source files,
and made it easy to generate documentation in multiple formats, and easy to
adapt to our purposes. I want a tool that lets me be DRY. I want a tool
that can access actual Java source code and include it into a page, so that
we can ensure our samples are accurate.

I'm on a hunt for such a tool.  Our process would then be: check out
documentation source, compile it HTML in a SVN workspace, check that
workspace in, see it live.
