Also roller.apache.org seems to be pointing to an unpopulated
auto-indexed directory.Anyway, I've found I have a hard time
navigating it and also knowing where things should be going.

It's not just you. Others have complained.

If we can get a plan and agree on it then maybe we can divide up the
work load amongst us and just have everyone do their part to get the sit
polished. If we do that then I would expect we could get everything
cleaned up pretty quickly and no one person would have to do all the
work.
Cool!
Now that the infra team has put the site in place at roller.apache.org
any committer should be able to complete the job and populate it with
content. Currently we use Velocity/Anikia to generate the site, but we
don't have to continue with that. My preference is Confluence static.
There is other work to be done to untangle and clean up our web
presence. I'm busy on ROME/Propono most of this week, but here's what
I'd like to do with the Roller sites:
*** roller.apache.org - Roller project home page
- Put site in place ASAP!
- Use existing Anikia site?
- Use Confluence static publishing feature?
- Just point to the wiki?
- Other ideas?
Assuming that the confluence static publishing feature works properly
then that would get my vote, that way there is effectively just a single
tool for managing our project web content, the wiki. Everyone knows how
to use the wiki and it's a solid tool, so that makes it easy.
*** http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/ROLLER/ - Roller wiki
- I think the site's charter and organization is pretty clear
- Ideas for improvement?
- But it it for use of committers only?
I agree that this one is fine for right now. I think we can improve the
layout a bit, but lets focus on getting everything migrated first.
*** rollerweblogger.org/project - blog and planet
- Can still serve as project blog and planet site, since we can't run
Roller at Apache
- All official announcements must be made via email, but we can echo
them here
- Could be a better showcase of what we can do with Roller
I think the main point of that page should be to point people to the
apache site, then as you said, it can showcase a bit of Roller and echo
important news items.
*** roller.dev.java.net - non Apache Roller add-ons, plugins and themes
- I think the site's charter and organization is pretty clear
- Ideas for improvement?
This definitely needs improvement, but I think it's fine for now. There
isn't a whole lot that happens here anyways.
*** rollerweblogger.org/wiki - retire this site
- I'd like to use this as my personal wiki and remove Roller content
- So I'd like to empty all old Roller pages and make them point to new wiki
affirmative, we should finishing moving all the old wiki content and EOL it.
