An Aside: The Libre Office documentation team is using Alfresco. Not sure they are doing anything beyond using the document-management features, although there is web content management there too.

It would be nice to get the community working with that today, as it should be a good tool to use in the long-term. (Anakia gets to be a pain for larger sites) The CMS is newer than that documentation, which may be why it "prefers" anakia. Please take a look, and I can help with any authz bits or other setup (just lemme know what I need to do). IOW, my +1 is for the CMS. If we find that the community doesn't like it, then we can make another choice for the long-term site.
