CQ5 CMS

["Gav..." <ga...@16degrees.com.au>]

Guys,

I've emailed Roy and Jukka a fair few times now over the months, trying to
get either one to
install CQ5 for testing - or to supply a copy of it so I can install it
myself.

We have a VM ready and waiting at wcmdemo.a.o (and both roy and jukka have
accts ready)

We DO plan on replacing Confluence as a poor mans CMS as soon as possible
(though it WILL
remain as a wiki).

Any ideas on when we are likely to be able to pursue this, or, if things
have changed and this
is no longer going to be the case, please let us know so we can forget about
it and pursue
other avenues,

Thanks

Gav...

Right, but it does looks good, we have already discounted other
software and I think just wanted to see how this faired before
going elsewhere or not.

Right, which was one reason I picked up the dropped ball and got it done in
January. Confluence as a CMS proved its unsuitability for us once again when
we were forced to upgrade it recently, breaking a number of static site
exports in the process, projects are complaining again so was just
attempting
to pick this up again and see how we were situated.

Thanks

oops, hit the wrong button ....

I may end up rewriting it from scratch, since the current dispatcher
was written before APR and we probably don't need the IIS code.

Anyway, I'll give it another try after next week if I am sane.

Sorry, I have had no free time this year.  Zero commits outside
of board, nothing to show for httpbis, and that situation won't
change for at least another week (our baby has a hernia and
surgery in scheduled for Monday).

You can pursue other avenues any time you like.  Please do if
you have any other volunteers -- there is no reason to assume
CQ5 will be acceptable even once we install it on wcdemo.

As to timing, the main problem I ran into is that we need a
custom compiled version of our dispatcher (think mod_proxy_http
with custom cache replacement) for our alpha version of httpd,
and I haven't a friggin clue how to compile the beast.
Aside from that, 

is that we are waiting for some
fixes 

.  Seriously, I waited six months or
so for a machine or a zone
