I think that problem of truncated text is solvable in nice ways. But I am
unclear from the reading of the code as to how the content is included. Doesn't
the Apache CMS only get triggered on svn commit? How does it update content
automatically in response to external data from an svn feed, Jira list or RSS
feed? Those things would be really nice to show the world that stuff is
happening. How nice would it be to show users the list of recent thread
subjects from the mailing list…
The dynamic part can be done with JavaScript. The only limitation is accessing
data from external domains. We can work around it in a few ways.
1. Including externally hosted JS. E.g. Tapestry home page includes an external
twitter widget.
2. We can also periodically save a given external RSS feeds to a file on our
server with a cron'd curl command, and then read it with JS hosted on our site.
If we save a file in that way, we may not need to merge the content
client-side. I see that Apache CMS has a cgi-bin folder. Maybe we can use that
to merge the content.
