The ASF is phasing out supporting CWiki [1] as a method for managing
public websites and we've never done a good job of managing the export
from CWiki anyway.
I've taken the liberty of starting our migration to the new Apache CMS.
This has a number of advantages:
- we can edit the site using a basic web interface or offline via SVN
committs/patches
- we can use the CWiki as a true wiki, i.e. open public access again
- we get more support from the infra team
To learn more about the CMS and why the ASF has moved this way and what
the CMS looks like see [2]
To see what people have been doing, including migration scripts from
CWiki see [3]
For some basic info on how to use it see [4]
For reference material on the Markdown syntax used see [5]
We now need to create our pages at [6] (svn) or via the CMS [7]. I
propose rewriting the pages from scratch. We are not very well
structured right now, but we do have a reasonable amount of content. I
suggest this is a good opportunity for creating a better structure.
Help appreciated.
