a kinda slippery slope figuring out which bit does what
Official documentation for end-users is in subversion (Forrest). This
is vetted by the release process.
Un-official, typically user-generated documentation whose accuracy,
copyright, etc. is not guaranteed by the project goes in the wiki.
The wiki is also used for some developer documentation that is not
intended for end users, e.g., HowToRelease, HowToContribute, etc. These
could migrate into the project's official website
(repos/asf/hadoop/zookeeper/site) if we like.
and its a PITA
moving content into different formats to move between them; so while
no tool is perfect, I kinda like that with confluence there's just one
place to put docs and you can then slice and dice as you see fit
Sure, it would be convenient if these were all in a common format, but,
as mentioned before, Confluence would make it harder to manage branched
documentation.
