Hello Most Reverent and Kind Jakarta Gentlefolk :-)
I have a suggestion/request and it seems this might (or might not) be the place to suggest/request it. :-)
As per below... I'd like to request the MoinMoin wiki be upgraded to 1.3.x.
Personally I'd love to see Confluence replace the Python Moin Moin, since Confluence is written in Java, shows off Jakarta through the use of many Jakarta packages, and shows support open source projects by being FREE for them.
I'm a fan of Jira, and I use Confluence, but I've found it over-complicated for my normal needs and much prefer the looser MoinMoin or JSPWiki setups.
On the Java point, there're a lot of python coders at Apache too, and while it's tempting to want our webserver to be Tomcat, our mail server to be James and our wiki to be implemented in Java, there's a pragmatism that we shouldn't overdo things :)
That said, there are reasons to prefer Confluence. Generating the website/documentation in the way that Codehaus does would be one such reason. If its wealth of features are desired, Confluence would be a good choice, but do we really desire those features?
But barring that... I'd really like to see the upgrade to MoinMoin happen because the wiki is becoming a huge benefit for collaboration on the Velocity and Velocity Tools projects.
I realize Apache is a volunteer org and we all know this is stuff we all do in our "not so copious free time" -- but I'd really like to know how/where/who admins the MoinMoin install and offer to help in any way I can.
Infrastructure :)
Least I assume it is. While apsite people might be able to create/maintain, I'd think that Infra would be in charge of upgrades to the software.
