B.T.W. Jim when do you expect to bring Confluence to live so that we can
add this kind of conventions.

Sorry, I've been beating my head against the wall for a couple
of days trying to fix something with the staged site, and still haven't
been successful fixing it.
First off - I'd like to publicly thank Marc Prud'hommeaux (OpenJPA
project) for all his help in getting as far as I got. The OpenJPA
project (<http://openjpa.apache.org>) uses a confluence wiki for their
main site. I thought it looked very nice - so asked if we could use
the design as a jumping off point. There are a bunch of files and
conventions to get it to work, and Marc has been patient and very
helpful in getting us started.
The staging site is at: <http://cwiki.apache.org/RIVER>
The problem I've been trying to fix (open to any suggestions) is
that the right hand nav bar gets doubled.
Other than that, we've got a decent start on some of the pages.
Please take a look. I want to clean up the top banner, and some
of the colors, but interested (in general) on what you think.
I read most of it and it looks good, except for the top bar as you
mentioned and the 'Issue Tracker' link on the main page still points to
the OpenJPA JIRA. Maybe the other colors should also be more in line
with the colors the Apache River (Jini) logo.
I added myself as user 'marbro' to Confluence but I think I should
be made (and the other committers) part of some groups as I'm not
allowed to edit pages.
Is there an additional document or posting that explains how the exact
transformation from the Confluence Wiki to this main site works, I read
http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CWIKI/Index but I think I
need something else. That way maybe I can also try to understand why the
navigation got doubled.
One thing I like of the OpenJPA site and which doesn't seem to have
made it into the River site is their PoweredBy list, I think we should
have something similar in the future where people can enlist their
product when it utilizes the River distribution for their Jini based
products.
