Thanks for getting this set up Chris!
I've been messed around with it, and think I have the hang of it. I
converted everything from the current "site" and it raised a few issues:
1. We need to figure out how to deal with dates on the old news?
Ideally we could transpose old "news" into the new system keeping the
old dates. We can either show a full listing like:
http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SOLRxSITE/News
or just the titles:
http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SOLRxSITE/Index
2. I would like to edit the template to keep a main navigation bar on
the left -- similar to the current site:
http://lucene.apache.org/solr/
and
http://mc4j.org/confluence/display/stripes/Home
This should be possible by editing the "main.vmd" file for this site
http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Customising+Layouts
http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Working+With+Decorator+Macros
It looks like this needs to be done by a "confluence-admin"
3. We need to figure out how to manage relative links to API docs so an
exported site can function properly by itself and for versioned
releases. I don't think there is any automatic way to do this, but the
distribution script could replace:
http://lucene.apache.org/solr/api/
with
../api/ (or whatever)
4. Can we export the cwiki to http://lucene.apache.org? The active wiki
lives at:
http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SOLRxSITE/Index
this is periodically exported to:
http://cwiki.apache.org/SOLRxSITE/
But (if I understand correctly) we want this to live at:
http://lucene.apache.org/solr/
If that is the case, we just want a redirect sitting at
http://cwiki.apache.org/SOLRxSITE/ to avoid any confusion and make sure
all links actually point to http://lucene.apache.org/solr/
I'm sure there is more, but that is all for now....

Ryan, Bill, and Yonik are now in asf-cla, solr-admins, solr-committers,
and solr-users ... i'm guessing in the long run we won't really need
solr-admins or solr-users but infra created them so they're there for now.
I also discovered that i have the ability to add other people to
"confluence-administrators" so I added Yonik to that as well ... now two
people on the Lucene PMC can edit group membership for people (not just
me ... which reduces the "getting hit by a bus" risk)
FYI: the really interesting stuff is when you click "Browse Space" and
then "Space Admin" .... from there "Permissions" is where you can control
what users/groups can do what (but not who is in what groups)
(Yonik: to add people to groups start with the "Administration" link that
should show up for you near the "Log Out" link at the top right)
