Hi Jacques,
What I mean with the license was - what is the license regarding the
contributed content that users have uploaded to the wiki? I was
wondering if I could use the content on the wiki for other purposes.
Ah yes! For me (to be confirmed, because there are no licence headers there) like all in Apache OFBiz, it's ASL2 licenced.
In other words you can do what you want with it as long as you respect http://apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0#redistribution

Many thanks,

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
