------------------------------**------
I don't like Roy's answer here (from the email you cited above):
"In other words, you can just say
Unless otherwise noted, contributions to this wiki are licensed
to the Apache Software Foundation as contributions under the
Apache License, version 2.0."
We're just kicking the can down the road by having licensing *other* than
Apache License, Version 2.0 on the new wiki. Companies use the WikiText
in
their documentation and they need the comfort that it's 100%
Apache-licensed and can be freely used just like Apache source code.
Going
forward, it needs to be understood that whatever a person writes on the
Apache Wiki is immediately Apache-licensed, and if they don't like that,
then don't post any Wiki content (i.e., no "unless otherwise noted"
section
that Roy is suggesting). I.e., we need to have a proverbial fire where
all
old records are lost so we can start anew with 100% Apache licensed
Content.
What I see here is a three-step process:
1.) Shrink jspwiki.org by deleting as many outdated or marginally useful
pages as possible. For example, the UserList can completely go (it's out
of date and we can create a brand-new user list later), and most of the
Ongoing Discussion links predate 2010 and hence also can be removed.
This,
for example
(http://www.jspwiki.org/wiki/**JSPWikiDependencies<http://www.jspwiki.org/wiki/JSPWikiDependencies>)
is absurdly
out of date and we should just refer people to the build.xml for those
who
need an authoritative list of that info.
2.) Go down the left-side menu, delete all pages that are already covered
by the main Apache JSPWiki page (Mailing List, documentation link, JIRA
URL, Getting Involved, etc.) Anything there that should be on the main
Apache JSPWiki site
(http://incubator.apache.org/**jspwiki/<http://incubator.apache.org/jspwiki/>),
either
directly add it or just make a note and we can put it there later.
3.) Move all the *factual* HOWTO material from http://www.jspwiki.org to
http://doc.jspwiki.org/2.4/ (or a new http://doc.jspwiki.org/2.9/) --
include no matter-of-opinion, random discussion, thoughts, etc. Factual
material "2 + 3 = 5" that can't be stated any other way generally will
not
have the copyright concerns. If there's any material we don't know who
wrote and remain concerned about moving it to http://doc.jspwiki.org, I
think it's better to just delete it and start anew, then to go forward
with
the shackles of "orphan works" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/**
Orphan_works <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orphan_works>)
hampering the new Apache-hosted wiki.
4.) By this stage, http://www.jspwiki.org/ should have nothing on it and
can be shut down. Instead we then discuss how to move
http://doc.jspwiki.org/2.4/ to the new Apache Wiki, with all of it 100%
Apache-owned.
I can help on #1 and #2 if desired, then we can look at what's left for
#3
before proceeding with it.
Move jspwiki.org content to ASF-owned VM

Key: JSPWIKI-739
URL: https://issues.apache.org/**
jira/browse/JSPWIKI-739<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JSPWIKI-739>
Project: JSPWiki
Issue Type: Task
Affects Versions: Graduating
Reporter: Janne Jalkanen
Assignee: Florian Holeczek
Fix For: Graduating
jspwiki.org content needs to be moved over to ASF-hosted place.
Apparently VMs are available.
We can either move jspwiki.org to Apache, or I can keep the domain and
point everything to jspwiki.apache.org.
