We need to do the simplest thing possible right now, IMO, before the
September deadline (Sept 20th). The simplest way to plan this would be
to say we've got until the end of this month.
Remember, the requirement is to have a website that is reasonably
informative, not to have a state of the art CMS. That can be done post
graduation.
I'd suggest we:
* Use confluence to author the pages we want on our site
* When we're happy with them, someone manually converts these to xdoc
* We use Anakia or Maven (as is) to produce a very simple site using
these xdocs
* We're done.
To me this isn't the simplest approach. I would suggest this:
* Create the entire site that we want in the wiki (this is what I
originally started to do with the 'Site' page on the wiki now,
which was intended to be the root of the Felix site and was used
as the source for the current site).
* Export the root of the site from the wiki to HTML and copy it to
where it needs to be and commit.
* We're done.
This creates only one manual step, export->copy->commit, with minimal
understanding needed of anything else.
If we could create a script to do the manual step, then we could
potentially create a cron job to do it once a day or something if we are
allowed to run cron jobs on the server.
