Kay and I put all the web content is in the AOOo svn at - /incubator/ooo/ooo-site/trunk/ The CMS build is a work in progress as different parts present differing html. I planned to work on this some more but I have been down with a pinched nerve. Pain killers are the only reason I am typing now. Joe Schaefer and I discussed this sometime ago when I split the OOo site over from the incubator site tree. There is this JIRA ticket for a staging version. INFRA-3933 www.OpenOffice.org staging site - http://site-ooo.apache.org - using the Apache CMS I'll put up a build on my people site in the next day or two. Also, we are waiting on Infra for Domain Registration Transfer - see INFRA-3898 Transfer the openoffice domain from Oracle to ASF > > In particular, I'm concerned not just about the technical/code content, but > also about other content, especially oo.o sites that may require significant > changes to reflect ASF ownership and Apache OOo stewardship of these domains. > There are far too many different kinds of content, I imagine, to have a > single way to transfer all of them, so I think we really need to just start > on at least some rebranding and figuring out which ones can be moved (or > changed) independently. > > In particular, I'd really like to see people working on the non-code > informational sites on oo.o like about, council, marketing, infrastructure > (or website), and the other topics of bizdev, certification, distribution, > and especially security. The content is there and I am here to help anyone with the wrapping if they are ahead of me.

One issue I think we need to address is that the people who will support this added infrastructure need to become enabled to work with APache Infrastructure. Perhaps these are people who should be offered Commiter and not PPMC if elected by the PPMC. Maybe these are the individuals where an ICLA first policy should be used. We need many volunteers for AOOo infrastructure. > > I'm presuming the best place to get an overall view of what's being done is > on the wiki, correct? > > https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/OOo-to-ASF-site-recommendation I think so.
