[DISCUSS] Confluence Wiki for StreamPipes

[Dominik Riemer <ri...@fzi.de>]

Hi again,

so there's a first thing I'd like to discuss: Do we want to have a Confluence wiki?

Currently, we host an internal wiki targeted at developers which includes, for instance:
* Release Guides (what to do, how to release to Maven central, how to create release notes)
* Some general guidelines (nothing special, but some Java development guidelines, some guidelines for UI development)
* Some how-tos (how to build the UI, how to set up a development environment, how to develop under windows etc.)
* Some pages to discuss/present planned future features that require breaking changes ("StreamPipes Improvement Proposals")

Personally, I think it might be a good idea to have such information in the wiki and not on the homepage, so that we do not confuse the non-technical target audience of StreamPipes with too much technical stuff on the website...

What do you think? 

Dominik

Hi,

currently we are using the Wiki of our Gitlab server. Thanks for the tip to transfer it, but I think we can do it manually because the wiki is not too big. So it should take much time.
This way we also have the chance to remove outdated entries in the wiki.

Cheers,
Philipp

All that sounds like it should be in a public wiki.  What’s the internal wiki software? Infra might be able to transfer the content to an ASF one.

Thanks,
