Just a little change in the details: the site is now up at the following for the primary URL:
The link to the example page I mentioned near the bottom of the message is here:
>
> There have been some changes recently in the area of end-user
> documentation for OFBiz. Undersun has had a paid subscription site for a
> while and over the last 2 years has become fairly complete, but now the
> technical writer we had on contract is no longer working full-time on it
> due to other contracts that came up for him.
>
> Others have put together some pretty good material as well, like the
> document Ian Gilbert did a while back and updated recently, and the
> really quite good set of documents that Si and his crew put together and
> that he announced recently and that can be downloaded from SourceForge
> in the Sequoia/OpEnTaps project's files.
>
> Still, there hasn't been much collaboration in this area and so now is a
> good time to start...
>
> The proposal that Andy and I have discussed is to open up the content on
> the Undersun doc site and invite others to merge in their content to
> create a central site with OFBiz documentation.
>
> To facilitate this we have setup a Confluence server (thanks to
> Atlassian for the free license, and to Contegix for the hosting and
> helping to maintain it). Right now it is available here:

>
http://confluence.undersunconsulting.com>
> We will have it available on docs.ofbiz.org and confluence.ofbiz.org and
> wiki.ofbiz.org in the near future.
>
> Confluence supports some nice things like public comments, PDF/Word/HTML
> export, good permission management, and many others.
>
> Part of this "wiki" will be write restricted to a core group of content
> maintainers. Anyone will be able to view and comment on the content, but
> only a small group will be able to change it.
>
> The other part of this site is a more traditional wiki which anyone with
> an account can add to or change, and thereby help maintain it.
>
> We haven't decided for sure on this second part yet, mainly because we
> appreciate what Integral has done over the years with hosting and
> helping to maintain the official OFBiz wiki. Now that we are moving the
> managed documentation to this wiki it would be nice to have the more
> "open" stuff on the same site for searching and cross-linking purposes.
> So, I hereby request feedback on this and if the community wants it,
> we'll see if we can move the current wiki content over.
>
> Now for the fun part: I spent a few hours today playing with the
> Confluence site and moving some content over from the Undersun doc site.
> This page is a good one to look at that I have started to do some
> formatting on, and that has a good mix of images and text:

> The trick here is that there is a LOT of content to move over from the
> Undersun content server. I'd like to see this all moved over soon, but
> it will take quite a few man-hours to do so. In other words, as usual
> I'm asking for help with this part of the effort! I'll setup accounts
> without much question for anyone that has contributed to OFBiz enough to
> be known and trusted. For anyone else, if you have documentation
> experience and sufficient knowledge of OFBiz we'd love your help!
>
> For anyone looking into the Undersun doc site: you'll notice now that it
> is no longer possible to purchase a subscription there. I could make the
> 1 month subscription available again for the $4.95 or something if there
> is enough demand for it (as I don't want to manually add accounts...),
> but would prefer that we get the content moved over ASAP...
