This is the big negative. You need admin access to confluence to edit those. However, admin access is generally given out like candy if needed for this purpose. There is an AutoExport tab on the Admin page where the capability to edit the template and re-export the entire space it found. > 2.

Every hour, the confluence stuff is rsynced over to people.apache.org: /www/confluence-exports. Thus, what is needed is for someone to create a crontab that each hour, rsyncs stuff from there over to the /www/ws.apache.org directory. The maven projects just dump stuff there as well. Thus, as long as the rsync doesn't delete anything it shouldn't, all is well. Dan > > Andreas > > On Fri, Oct 15, 2010 at 17:03, Daniel Kulp <dk...@apache.org> wrote: > > I'm definitely +1.
