Actually I already started down this path some time ago after
studying the Incubator docs - I checked in a redirecting .htaccess to
subversion and checked it out on the server (so now http://
incubator.apache.org/cayenne/ is a working url).
I guess the next step would be organizing those few Anakia-built
pages that make up the static site in a Maven project and moving them
to SVN. I don't see a problem checking in the generated pages to SVN
- makes deployment easier.
So Bill or Jean, whoever has time to do that, please go ahead.
BTW, there is one "dynamic" piece - the mailing list archive. The
archive is generated by hypermail and message counters are reset by a
Perl script that receives the archive emails. I know all Apache
projects use a separate archive (and new Cayenne lists are archived
there as well), so I guess we can keep archives on ObjectStyle.

I can help with logistical stuff on the people.apache.org end.
Typically, pages are composed using whatever the project desires, and
built pages get checked into subversion. An 'svn checkout' on
people.apache.org 'publishes' the web site (and 'svn up' publishes any
updates).
At first it struck me as kind of weird that anyone would check built
pages into subversion. The rationale is if the machine hosting the web
server dies, a replacement can be brought it, then infra can republish
project web sites with series of 'svn co'.
That much said, not all projects check in built pages. One example is
the db project site, which gets published via a "maven site:deploy".

Since we now can migrate the web site to Apache, maybe we should
investigate what it takes to build a maven site. The requirements to
the site would be:
* Preserve the current Cayenne skin
* Include doc sections for different releases.
Any volunteers to look into that?
FYI, the current web site sources are separate from the main source
tree in CVS:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/cayenne/cayenne-site/

I've only read through the first chapter, so I can't comment
much on
its utility yet. I can say that it looks like the book was not
edited all that well and that they make some rather large,
unsubstantiated claims. If you can get past these things
though, it
looks to be a fairly easy read that may be useful to those of us
just
getting introduced to Maven.
