Hi Andrew,

yes, we are using the Apache CMS, and we have plenty of content...  Plus
sub-projects(ApacheDS, Studio, LDAP API, Fortress, Kerby, Mavibot and
Scimple). That is 462 markdown pages, a few hundreds of css, xml, cgi, xsl,
js, html and other files. Not expecting the migration to be a piece of cake.

(FTR, MINA has the exact same constraint).

We are not tens of committers able to help, and I'm afraid to be one of the
few having some knowledge on how the CMS works and how the website is
built. Stefan Seelmann, Colm and Shawn can probably give some hand too.

Now, I'm currently extremely busy - up to a point my current contribution
are almost nil - but it might not last (ie, the busy state).

On the side note, I'm a bit disappointed that after having pushed the
projects to migrate to the Apache CMS almost a decade ago, The ASF decide
it will just shut it down and forces all the users - aka many people - to
spent days in migrating the web site. I know infra resources are scarce,
but trust me, project resources are even scracest. The CMS is really
working smoothly, and I'm not sure it requires a lot of maintenance. But,
well, I guess your voice is not really important...

Emmanuel
