Point taken :) However, isn't Confluence the same as all wikis where anyone can edit the pages? One can require that people create accounts to edit the wiki, but doesn't it need to be unlocked now anyways?
Thanks,

Will Confluence spare us the embarrassment of having our wiki data
replaced with offensive ASCII "art" when we are mentioned on
slashdot?

If so, that's more than enough reason to switch IMO.

Hmm, are we moving a little too fast on moving to Confluence?   Like
someone said earlier, we've already switched wiki's once, and I don't
know (beyond wiki -> xdoc) what benefits Confluence has over Wikis.
It may even be easier to update the tool (wiki->xdoc) to understand
the wiki we have now, rather than transferring the entire site over to
a different wiki system, with yet another syntax...
Just my $0.02.

I personally think the wiki is the best place to develop
documentation, because everyone can participate. The issue is our
wiki software is... lets say difficult. James Strachan has a neat
utility for Confluence wiki, which Codehaus uses, that converts the
wiki markup to html, pdf and runs all the test cases coded into the
wiki. I would like to follow a similar route for our docs where we
develop them on the wiki and regularly stamp them and check them into
the project xdocs.


Does anyone know what we need to do to get Confluence running at Apache?

JiraMike was saying at JavaOne that there's a guy at Atlassian who's an
apache member who'd be willing to help make this happen. I'd consumed a
fair bit of alcohol at this point and I think it was Jeff right?


Mike / Jeff care to help us out?

Atlassian is incredibly supportive of the ASF, and it takes nothing from
them. We just need someone to volunteer to install and maintain it
(like I did for JIRA). I'd be interested in helping with Confluence as
well.


However, I've been really busy this summer and slacking off helping with
JIRA, so if someone wants to volunteer to get Confluence going and help,
that's all it'll take.
