(at least no one else is using it in > this way) Yeah that's actually what I'm proposing. What I'm saying is this. Suppose we have a June 2011 board report due: 1. You create the June 2011 board report on Confluence, rather than the Incubator wiki 2. Eric updates the Confluence board report version 3. Chris updates the Confluence board report version 4. Patrick updates one last time, then copies over to the Incubator wiki board report area 5. Joe blow comes 2 months later, and wants to see the revisions of the MRUnit board report from June 2011 a. Joe blow scratches his head when there is only 1 revision in the Incubator wiki b. Joe blow realizes that there is another wiki he has to search (by finding this conversation in the mailing archives on Google :-) ). That was the use case I was talking about. > Checkout the number of projects that are doing similar: http://bit.ly/lmya5z Yep, I hear ya. > >> Honestly though I'm not trying to be a pain, just wondering procedurally. >> > > Same here. ;-) I didn't come up with this on my own btw, I copied it > from sling iirc: > https://cwiki.apache.org/SLING/reports.html > Gotcha.
