Hi Chris,
I sincerely think it's not a tool problem but simply lack of community
organisation.
Also, despite the lack of organisation, lot efforts have already been put in the wiki and moving to another support, DocBookWiki or
whatever, will need to be very carefully done!
Last but not least, the commuity ambition, would be to use OFBiz itself to
support its own wiki. Ambitious isn'it ?
Licence : Confluence is Atlassian property (as Jira which uses OFBiz Entity Engine internally, BTW), in other word it's a commercial
product. But like some other companies, Atlassian offers graciously some licences. I believe, the one we currently use was donated
to Undersun (the consulting company David and Andy created when the begin to work on OFBiz) and is now used on an HWM server. In the
meantime (before using OFBize itself) we should move to Apacher servers since Atlassian has also offered a licence to the ASF
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-1877. Confluence is already used by other major ASF projects : Geronimo, ServiceMix, to
list a few...

I was wondering how useful people find the ofbiz wiki.
It seems that there is a lot of very good information on the wiki, but it just doesn't seem to be structured (structure is
precisely what new users need, along with product stability).
I've been looking at the DocBookWiki project and although it has a long way to go to be usable, it allows you to structure your
wiki like you would a book - see example on http://doc-book.sourceforge.net/books/. It also has links to generate different
formats from your wiki including docbook, html and pdf.
What is the license for the contents of the ofbiz wiki? Would I be allowed to use the content on the wiki and combine it into
another format?
Many thanks,
Chris
