Re: [PROPOSAL] JSPWiki

Big +1 on JSPWiki. I've been a fan for years of the software and the
community that drives it forward. There may be some issues with
getting the JSPWiki web application up and running on Apache
infrastructure, which will be necessary for this effort, but I think
we can overcome those.

Yes. I would like to join the Incubator PMC. What do I need to do to
make that happen?

OK, I want to be clear, and then I'll get the process done.  You are asking
to join the Incubator PMC, and volunteering as a Mentor for JSPWiki?

The infrastructure side of your offer is best addressed on that group's
lists, as I am sure you realize.  :-)

Yes! I'd like to sign up for the Incubator project and Infra to help out.

Nonono, what I meant was that it would be odd to have www.jspwiki.org  
running on Confluence or Moin Moin - it would look like we are not  
eating our own dog food.

All of the resources listed are wikis (except, obviously, the mailing  
list.  Even the blog is a wiki, though it is not open to the general  
public to edit).  There is an external tool which allows a full or  
subset of files to be turned into static HTML resources, if  
necessary, but we do not currently provide one ourselves.

Very true.  Being a "hobby project" has allowed us to be somewhat  
lenient towards things like web site availability (though having said  
that, we have two maintainers in two timezones, and in general our  
downtimes happen only when we upgrade something).  This is one of the  
questions highlighted in our proposal, and help from the ASF is  
needed towards resolving these - I can't tell you how to run your  
services :-)

Well, frankly, I don't really care what other projects are  
running :-).  It's up to each project to choose the kind of  
infrastructure they choose.  And I certainly see the point of not  
complicating the infrastructure.

But, over time, migration tools will certainly emerge.  We have so  
far not really been working on such things, as it hasn't really been  
a priority.  Whether then the decision is made by ASF to adopt  
JSPWiki as an official tool is pretty much out of my hands.  I would  
certainly like to see it happen, and can offer help, but I'm not  
exactly holding my breath.  It's certainly not a driving factor in  
this whole transition.  The way I see it, it's a decision that ASF  
will do based on ASF's own needs :-)

Dumb? So we must already be dumb, then, to be running other things like JVMs
that don't come from the ASF, rather than our own.

Is there a roadmap for when JSPWiki will have all of the features and
functionality of both Confluence and MoinMoin, including the Confluence
macros we use, and the migration tools so that we can move all the existing
data from these existing wikis to JSPWiki? Without that, I don't see us
replacing our existing wikis with JSPWiki, and I'm absolutely not in favour
of adding a third wiki flavour to our infrastructure.

Is this the real reason JSPWiki wants to come to the ASF? To be the wiki
that the ASF runs on?

We also have separate documentation and sandbox wikis.

It's not at all clear from that list that those are wikis and not just
regular web sites. Does JSPWiki have an auto-export capability, like
Confluence does, so that pages can be offloaded to static resources, instead
of hitting the wiki all the time?

You'll need a dedicated team of people, not just one person, that is
committed to doing this on an ongoing basis.

Yep, I got your point.

I've personally thought about possibility for users to run JSPWiki on
full Apache stack.
This could be nice out-of-the-box bundle: JSPWiki+Tomcat+Harmony

Well, let me put it this way: it would be kinda dumb to run our  
public wiki site on another wiki engine. ;-)

We also have separate documentation and sandbox wikis.

http://www.jspwiki.org/wiki/ApacheJSPWikiProposal#section- 
ApacheJSPWikiProposal-RequiredResources

A tomcat instance is fine (preferably non-shared; JSPWiki cannot be  
deployed simply from a war file right now), and I can offer to run  
some of the wiki sites (e.g. the sandbox, which is wiped out  
regularly) myself.

What do you mean? Apache does not have needed lower level projects to
run JSPWiki?
How about Tomcat+Harmony?

Have not review JSPWiki requirements yet actually.
