Hi Benedikt,
Thanks for the link (I have been loosely following that thread).
I have in fact converted the Confluence data to ASF CMS mdtext files.
Everything is in the site/trunk/content directory:
* ipojo, obr, and site are copies from the current
felix.apache.org site (so the current site is currently
preserved but I would consider it static for now)
* The rest is converted Confluence content. This is up to
editing now.
In addition there is a site/tools folder which can be checked out to manually
generate the site if needed.
Finally, I have described how the CMS site currently works in the
site/trunk/content/documentatio.mdtext file. You can view this file in your
preferred editor or in an Markdown editor (such as Mou).
I think going forward we should now crosscheck the new pages against the old
pages. Once a page has been "finalized", the old page can be removed and we
would add a redirect to the .htdocs file in the root such that we have a
redirect for the old URLs to the new URLs.
Yet, currently I am still waiting for Infra to setup the CMS staging area such
that we have automatic builds of the site.
Regards
Felix
