I have run a 'wget -o obtainjiniorg.log -w 5 -m -k www.jini.org' so I have a mostly working local copy of the information(in non-wiki mode), however I am unsure if there are any utilities or methods for converting/hosting this archive on the Apache infrastructure.
The jini.org uses MediaWiki where as the River site is set up with MoinMoin, the mark-up source format for these appears is different along with available macros and I had no luck just pasting the the jini.org src to river. So I am currently manually formatting by pasting the text and adding MoinMoin specific markup indicators. The upside is I am making progress (slow but steady) in getting the Jini Spec documents on the river site (plan on doing FAQ/HowTo/Tutorial information after I get all the specs in place) The downsides are as follows: 1. Not very familiar with Wiki's in general so there may be MoinMoin markup features I am not using, or categorized pages appropriately... 2. Not sure how to get images to the Apache site, so currently I am in lining the images with links to the jini.org site, which means if the hosting for jini.org goes down the images will be broken ( the robots.txt on jini.org excluded the /images/ however some of the spec images appear to be availeble out of the /files/... hiearchy so I do have a local copy of some of the images) 3. formatting is different, and there is a chance for typos, so someone more familiar with jini may want to take a cursory glance after I have done the initial grunt work of the port. 4. Not sure how MoinMoin handles page protection, so the specs are currently open for anyone to edit/spam/destroy. The original spec pages on the jini.org are protected... If anyone has any better ideas for getting the most important information on to the River wiki, I am open to suggestions, however until then I will continue to manually port the info as time allows. Until the porting work is done (...still open to suggestions on a better method than manual document editing...), and we get the images local, we need the hosting of jini.org to remain.
