Yep. And that's what we need a volunteer for. Did I get the impression
Alex was volunteering?
Let me summarize my view on where we stand with this.
Basically the website consist of content from one of two sources:
- documentation authored by developers and users;
- reports and documents generated by the build process.
The challenge is how to mix these two artifacts together into one
consistent site.
We would like all authored documentation to be in the confluence
wiki. For confluence we have already installed and configured the
auto exporter plugin, so we can create static copies of this content
automatically (although the auto exporter only allows us to export to
a local directory).
For the documents generated by the build process there is no
automated process in place yet because we don't have a continuous
build server (and according to Upayavira's mail earlier today we are
unlikely to get one right now). That means that at best these
artifacts will be generated manually and it probably makes sense to
generate them for every release we do.
So, apart from the actual content, we have the following technical
issues:
- How to get the files from the auto exporter to the right location
(or the other way round, how to redirect from the felix homepage to
this auto exporter location)?
- How to merge both sources into one consistent site (this is
probably not too hard considering the fact that we can provide a
template for the auto exporter which could simply include links to
all the build generated content).
I have no problem volunteering to help with this, but I'm not
familiar with Apache infrastructure rules and guidelines, so some
assistance on these tech issues would be very welcome.
