There are also Apache Forrest, Mvn Site, Piwi etc available for such tasks. But I think Docbook is the most stable and powerful tool out there. Mvn site is good, but also very basic.
My maven scripts actually use the maven 'site' goal to hook in the docbook construction. I don't know the details of what the Apache CMS uses for formatting, but assume it is textile/bbcode or something like that. The advantage of docbook is mainly that it is an established standard which is unlikely to change in the near future. The effort involved is not the migration to a new cms/svn/etc repository. It is changing Confluence style markup to something new. The less often we have to do that the better. I would propose that the site continue to stay in Confluence for now, and only the documentation (CAYDOC) move. Docbook is not a good format for blogs, news, website layout, etc. If there is general enthusiasm from the PMC over the next few days, I'll try and commit some basic scripts into our repo on the weekend.
