Site changing

I'm going to implement the first step of using the Confluence-driven  
website for geronimo.apache.org.

This includes cleaning up site/trunk.  I've made a copy of the  
current bits here http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/site/tags/ 
pre-confluence incase I accidentally nuke something, though I think  
I've identified all of the underlay/boilerplate bits which still need  
to get served from this svn tree.

For now we are just going to sync GMOxSITE from the AutoExport  
content, but I think that shortly afterwards we will sync all of the  
spaces (except for 'geronimo', the traditional wiki) so that all non- 
user driven content is served up from http://geronimo.apache.org.  To  
do this requires a little bit more content massaging which is gonna  
take a wee bit longer to whip up and get working for an automated push.

Anyways, should be up in an hour or so... if someone notices  
something is missing please lemme know.

Fantastic work Jason!  This is a great improvement both in what the
website offers as well as how easy it is to update.

Best wishes,
Paul

Site is updated... using Confluence-driven content.

I've implemented an automated sync, documented here ( https:// 
svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/site/trunk/README.txt ).  This will  
sync content from cwiki and from SVN every hour, so no need to ssh  
into people anymore to update site stuff.

This won't force the AE plugin to export everything though, so when  
something major changes on the site (like side-nav) or something  
using more dynamic macros, the site will need to be re-exported to  
get those changes picked up.  When I have a few free moments (not  
spent in TCK build hell), I will implement a solution to this too.
