Assuming you did have access to the box, what steps would be required
to get things setup? I know I'm asking an unnatural question as I
typically start my thinking while staring at the command prompt and
type commands iteratively till things work. But I'm just thinking if
we could maybe figure that out, we could work with someone who does
have access.
I'd also like to use this for GBuild and OpenEJB, so I'm keen on
seeing it solved.

I'm not even sure that it is going to be worth the effort to try
and convince Apache infra that we need the access. Seems like they
are only willing to give accounts on systems to Apache members.
So, I wonder if we could just run our own Confluence instance on
our zone, only use it to author, then export the content, massage
and then svn ci. I guess we could also do the same by moving the
spaces to goopen.org too, which will provide us the required access
to implement the site that we all want to implement.
I'm frustrated... we now have a Confluence instance on ASF, but we
can't really use it to produce the results we want... unless you
want to see http://geronimo.apache.org become a set of http://
cwiki.apache.org* URs... which I find very distasteful.
There might be some way to configure httpd to rewrite urls so that
http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxSITE looks like http://
geronimo.apache.org and that http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxKB looks
like http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxKB, etc... but I wonder if that is
really worth all of the effort.
I guess we could use wget to grab the entire http://
cwiki.apache.org/GMOxSITE and then massage and check in... but that
is terribly inefficient and add more unwanted time lapse between
updating content to making the content live.
So, in short... I can't do anything related to making GMOxSITE the
official website until there is a way to get access to the exported
content, or get the httpd configuration changed for our vhost.
I feel like we have a spiffy new Ferrari that we can only drive at
5 mph... and as soon as you hit 6 mph it starts to hit you on the
head.
