Web site/Wiki conversion to CMS

[zoe slattery <zo...@gmail.com>]

Hi

Jeremy and I followed up on this a bit on the infra list. Here is a 
short summary of where we are now..

The justification for moving away from Confluence is linked from here: 
http://wiki.apache.org/general/ApacheCms2010

In our case I think that the immediate gains are:

1) Any committer being able to update the web pages without having to 
have a separate ID
2) Being able to see the result immediately (no up to 4 hour wait for 
publication)
3) Being able to put things like TCK results into the site rather than 
hosting them from our home directories.
4) Not having to have a Confluence admin on the team (currently only I 
or Guillaume can push out updates to the navigation pages).


One project has already moved away from Confluence an others are in 
progress.

There is a perl script for converting cwiki format to markdown - see 
here: 
https://svn.apache.org/repos/infra/websites/cms/conversion-utilities/cwiki/README.txt 


I plan to experiment with this more next week and will report back....
