As I said, I am willing to help in any way I can. Getting confluence up
and running is fairly simple. IIRC, Aaron offered some time ago a
MoinMoin to confluence migration tool, so migrating the current content
should not be a show stopper.
IMHO, the current wiki still should have major surgery, independently of
whether it will be migrated or not. There is a lot of
unnecessary/redundant information there.
There has been endless discussions on whether a wiki is the right "tool"
or not for documentation. Well, for the Geronimo project we could even
maintain both, the current wiki and confluence (to ease the transition).
Limiting confluence to just documentation (like JBoss wiki), host it
within the ASF and make it official (see the Geronimo documentation
page, "...There is not yet a full manual or similar official
documentation..."
By "make it official" I mean to work all the necessary aspects to make
it official (technical accuracy, up-to-date, complete, etc). I'm already
working on this ;)
I keep thinking that for many users Geronimo will be as good as its
documentation. V1 is around the bend, if we don't tell the users how
"good" and simple Geronimo is, they'll use some other product that is
documented.
In the mean time, could anybody make a reference to the confluence site
(http://opensource2.atlassian.com/confluence/oss/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=1692)
from the official Geronimo documentation page
(http://geronimo.apache.org/documentation.html)
Sorry for the size of the note.
Cheers!

It would be nice to see ASF Infra switch over wiki.apache.org to
Confluence 2.x, but I suppose they won't bee too keen to switching wiki
systems again so soon, after switching to MoinMoin :-|

Hi All,
it has been a while since this note about the solaris zones but I
have not seen any more comments about setting up a confluence site on
any of these zones.
It would be great if the growing V1 documentation in the confluence
site (hosted by atlassian) could be moved and hosted locally by the ASF.
I configured on my laptop a confluence site and have a copy of the
current documentation up and running in minutes.
How do you guys see installing a local confluence site in these
zones? I am not a committer but would certainly like to help build
this up.
Cheers!

Our zones are done and I'm creating user accounts for those that
volunteered to help admin, namely jeff, bruce and david. I've run
into a small problem (solaris doesn't seem to like group names
bigger than 8 characters!) so I'll get that sorted and we can move
forward...
