Almost all of our end-user communication is now exclusively on the mailing
lists.  We do have a few 'trickle' posts being made to the forums on the
existing jsecurity.org website, but those have reduced quite a bit in the
last 6 months.

So now the only time the site is really updated with any level of regularity
is when we make some announcement or make a release, both of which don't
happen very often.

Because of this, I'd like to discuss (again) the possibility of the website
being static that one or a few of us update via a tool like Dreamweaver,
which does automatic content sync'ing, instead of the convoluted
Confluence-to-HTML export mechanism that we were trying to do previously.  I
think it was a painful process for Allan and he just stopped trying since he
didn't have a full day or two to spend on it.

I really like the idea that we can totally customize anything we want with
HTML tools (however we want) and was never happy with how the Confluence
export mechanism worked, especially with having to deal with ASF permissions
for site templates, and all that.

So, if I personally spend my time working on website setup, I'd like to
spend it going this route, pending team consensus.

What do you guys think?

P.S.  Why the heck doesn't ASF support Tomcat hosting for its own project
websites?  It sounds totally bizarre to me that we can't deploy a .war for a
dynamic website...
