Wiki

[Matthieu Riou <ma...@offthelip.org>]

Hi guys,

I've just created a new Confluence space for Cassandra, Avinash's planning
to use it and most projects find it handy anyway. If other committers want
edit access to it, please send me your Confluence user name. If you don't
have one yet, just register there:

http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence

Cheers,
Matthieu

Ok, I understand.

On the topic of website I have suggested and created a basic Forrest
generated site here:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2

No response from any of the committers on the jira or on the lists yet
though.

I've started this way just because I don't know how the wiki is going to be
used by the project yet.

Some projects use the Confluence wiki as their website and even bundle it as
part of their distribution. In that context, only committers should be able
to contribute. I don't think it's the case for Hadoop, they have a separate
Forrest-generated website.

So depending on how the wiki is going to be used and how the Apache
Casssandra website will be built, we can decide to have it work either way.

Cheers,
Matthieu

Out of curiosity is there a reason to use a wiki without public edit
access? Apache Hadoop, for example, have had one that is editable by
anyone and they have not had any problems afaik. On the contrary I
believe a lot of useful updates wouldn't happen with a wiki restricted
to committers only.
