What is the openejb_autoexport.vm file? What is the scripting language
used in that file?

Just submitted a patch for removal of the incubator status footer from
the home page. The same footer is also available in the .vm file.
I am confused.

Right.

Right again.  You pretty much need Confluence, the AutoExport plugin  
and the template.  Optionally you could work from a copy of the sight  
by exporting it as xml and then importing it on your personal  
confluence install.

Confluence comes ready to go, servlet container and all, so you're  
good to go with that and the AutoExport plugin.

Feel free to have fun with the template.  If you come up with  
something nice you can easily upload it to your future account on  
people.apache.org for everyone to see.  Definitely keep the color  
scheme for the most part.  Some kind of change would be a nice way to  
visually communicate change in the a project; a new and different  
OpenEJB 3.0.

LOL ;)

So, the .vm file is the "main" template for the whole OpenEJB site, is
it? It creates the layout and everything. If that is true, and if i
change the css in this file, it will affect the whole website,
correct?

I have checked out the website, is there a way i can make changes to
it and see those changes (i.e. run the website on my local machine)
before i submit patches? I don't have confluence, so I am not sure how
to work on the website and submit working patches.

I have a feeling I might need confluence (which I dont have) and a
servlet container to be able to achieve the above. Want to know how
you do it?

And the OpenEJB logo is also pointing to openejb.org, from where it is
being redirected to openejb.apache.org

Oh, Ricky!...

The openejb_autoexport.vm is written velocity and it's used by the  
AutoExport plugin for Confluence to format the wiki space as html  
pages.  Apparently I had updated it directly when we moved from the  
Incubator and didn't check in the updated template -- my bad :)

Thanks for the patch.  I haven't looked at it yet, but here is a page  
generated from the prior template:
http://openejb.apache.org/hungry-exceptions.html.  (The ASF logo has  
always been a tad too big.)
