Thanks, this is very helpful. I am currently thinking that we should fold 
website/Kenai content towards a combination of mdtext, html, javascript and css 
into the current podling website.

Good point. Let's separate the efforts. It looks like the website is a larger 
effort.

Raphael attached some directory listings for the foreign language sites. These 
look like they are made to parallel the main openoffice.org website.

Back to the website.

(1) An initial test could focus on the current main page in English followed by 
versions in several languages. This will need to script the conversion of 
existing webcontent from Kenai into format for the Apache CMS.

(2) A second focus would be on the Kenai content for one of the product 
development areas. This script may be substantially different.

(3) A third focus would be building the documentation area. If a wiki is 
preferred then we should create a website page that provides good links.

(4) A fourth focus for the website migration is how to best integrate the 
project's choices for Bugzilla or JIRA, user forums, and mailing lists.

(5) MediaWiki to Apache Wiki can be a separate effort as described in another 
part of this thread.
