We are now able to wrap html with the Apache CMS. See recent commits to the
templates and lib/view.pm and path.pm files. Next step is to apply the
framework that I suggested.

We are doing preliminary conversions. We are yet to consistently apply
licensing, etc.
I am not clear on what the best approach is to converting the various
javascript and css files used on the OOo Kenai to the Apache CMS. Nevertheless
progress has been made.
If we need a NOTICE we can add it.

Yes, this is content that ought to be replaced by the work that Drew has
started on one thread, and I have mentioned on another It is irrelevant if
this is converted to mdtext or kept as html , either will work. We can easily
adapt the process to exclude in the sidenav.html for certain mdtext files. We
would add a header variable to the mdtext and then check for it.

You will need to examine the kenai web repos to see who that was, I suspect
someone on the ooo-dev list did it, but it is in our svn now! We can start
making the new www.openoffice.org now!
http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/www/ is the place to create the all
inclusive terms of use, privacy policy, and the rest to be linked to from all
of the future footers.

Check the Kenai svn (ooo/trunk/tools/dev/kenai2website.sh), or Kay, or someone
else?
