Move success stories to the Wiki
Hi all,
Does anyone have any objections with me moving the success stories to
Confluence? It seems to me that there's a lot more companies out there
using Cayenne than are currently listed. I think part of the problem
may be that adding a new site is just a lot of hassle right now. I know
I never bothered adding my own success story just because I didn't care
to be bothered with it.
So, barring any objections, I'll be making that transition. I'll just
update the site to link to the wiki appropriately.
Thanks,
Kevin

True, although I disagree that the absence of Wiki is the reason.
Anyways... It looks like the idea to switch the site to a Confluence
backend is popping up quite often lately. How about we work on that?

I'm aware that patches aren't needed, but it obviously hasn't attracted
much attention. I'm not sure it's easier. Updating a Wiki is something
someone can do on their own time, at their own leisure. They can modify
it as they see fit. Email communication is going to require multiple
passes. So, I guess I am advocating opening it up to general editing as
well. I've seen it done with several other projects and it has worked
out quite well.

Actually if we look at this in the context of the recent website
redesign discussion [1], this is all about making Confluence a CMS
for the branded site. So if we can design a Confluence template that
matches our static site look and feel, all the issues below will be
resolved.

I am -1 on that. There are a few issues with it:
* the Wiki permissions - currently pages are editable by committers
only - if we are to open it to general public, that's a whole other
discussion.
* In our split between the wiki and the "branded site", I believe
success stries belong to the branded site.

Instructions on that page say "If you want to add your Cayenne site
to this page, please drop a note to cayenne-user list or directly to
"andrus at objectstyle.org"." so we do not require people to submit
patches. Sending a note via email is actually *easier* than posting
to Wiki, so I don't think we'll be helping anybody.

Sounds great to me! +1 if we are voting on it.
