Hi,
Now that we have a repository (it even has a file...whoopee!) we need to resolve the high level structure. Any and all advice is appreciated.
We aren't quite as complicated as Geronimo, but we do plan to have a full web site mostly (completely?) built by maven. And several sub projects. Let's look at other projects and see if we can pick a paragon to emulate.
I'd like to strongly lobby that the website is built some other way - we are changing how we do Geronimo as we've gotten to the point where the current site is unbuildable, and thus this discourages people adding to the site, and drives them to the wiki which in some ways is like handing them chalk and sending them out to the sidewalk.
Having content on the site is really important, IMO - especially documentation that people can trust - so we want to make it as easy as possible for people to update.
Are there other tools besides maven that we should look at to build the site?
I'm a real fan of simple velocity templates or even just htm. We had a good system in Jakarta using Anakia, but DVSL or even XSL for the masochistic are fine by me. The point is to make it look like an apache site, keep it simple to edit and update.
Are there things that we need to be aware of in order to push the web site after a successful nightly build?
That's really one of the problems - coupling the site to the build. Nightly snapshots can still be built and posted independent of the site itself.
Are there other admin things that we need to set up?
I don't recall.
