Migration of site and dist/ to svnpubsub

[Jacopo Cappellato-4]

Today I have created the ticket for Infra to migrate the publishing mechanism for the OFBiz site and dist/ folder (releases) to svnpubsub:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-4485

As you may have read from the announcements from Infra, this is a required task as the current mechanism will be discontinued at the end of 2012.
By the way, I have asked a couple of questions to Infra in Jira, we will see what they say; but soon we will have to discuss the best way to cope with the change for all our Confluence based pages.

Regards,

Jacopo

Jacopo,

Thank you very much for taking care of this.

Moving Confluence will be more a concern :/

Yes, definitely... but it may be also a good chance to start from scratch with less and cleaner information (frankly speaking, it is a mess right now).

In my opinion a strategy like this could work (random thought not well defined and with a lot of defects... but for now it is simply to start thinking about this):

1) find a decent way to "save" in a safer place all the current content for future reference
2) convert the most official (and static) information from Confluence (back) to html; the following could be good candidates:
https://cwiki.apache.org/OFBADMIN/mailing-lists.html
https://cwiki.apache.org/OFBADMIN/ofbiz-source-repository-and-access.html
3) collect a list of Confluence pages that we would like to migrate to html as well
4) then we could explore the ASF CMS tool and may decide to switch completely to it if we like it (there will be time to decide)
5) in the meantime we will setup a standard wiki: no more spaces/permissions etc... a plain wiki for generic documentation

Totally agreed

Indeed, those pages (and others) could be in the site. We should not expect much/often changes now.

Yes the others above

That sounds like a plan to begin, but of course we have to think/try more about it...
