Confluence update

[Jacques Le Roux]

Hi all,

I noticed that http://docs.ofbiz.org/admin/console.action gives this message "Confluence support and upgrades for this license ended
on 24 May 2007. Confluence updates created after 24 May 2007 are not valid for this license. If you wish to renew your license,
please contact Atlassian.".  What could be done ?

If not done, I would recommend every contributor (and actually everyone registered) to subscribe Confluence update notifications :
http://docs.ofbiz.org/users/editemailpreferences.action : "subscribe to daily updates". You may get to it from
http://docs.ofbiz.org/users/viewnotifications.action

Please contributors and commiters, try as much as possible to update the http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBIZ/Main+New+features page

Thanks

Jacques

We would eventually like to move to the ASF cwiki server, but  
unfortunately that server is using an even OLDER version of Confluence  
(as has been discussed at length). In other words, the date on their  
server is even further in the past, which makes migration to that  
version difficult.

If what is not done? What does this have to do with subscribing to an  
email about updates of content on the site?

Yes, and also the http://ofbiz.apache.org/feature-list.html page which  
is has been neglected for years but that people still look at, and in  
general all of the docs.

Could we simply update the HWM site in the meantime.... Mmm... I wonder if we will stay in such a situation for a long time. Anybody
knows if Apache will update, is there some blockers ? Anyway there is no hurry now, as I find our site clean enough, thanks for that

:o), I was sure this one will be misleading. It's simply a reminder to invite every person registered to subscribe to daily change
notifications

I translated this page 3 years ago, it was much more work than I though at the beginning. Proof that OFBiz has a lot to share !

Thanks for feedback

We certainly could, but it would require some cash for an unlimited  
license of Confluence to update the server with.

Having EVERYONE signed up for update notifications? I guess if  
everyone was interested that would be great... it would put quite a  
load on the server though.

I understand they POV, but from mine they could do an effort to support OFBiz community, after all Jira is using the Entity Engine
for free ;o) Anyway it's not such a big deal, if we are still able to manage the site.

At least contributors and commiters. But even with everybody subscribed it's only done once a day, it should not be such a stress ?
