If anyone wants to help, let me know and I'll open up the repository!

David has committ access to the repo, and I'm in the process of porting to Confluence 2.3 (as it's needed for work) :-P Attached is the latest template I have... dunno if its the same or different than the one on there now... actually I have 2 of them, and I have no clue what is different about them ;-) Can look at it later, but I've got to get the automation for TCK 2.0 muck moving first.

For the time being I had to pull back to 2.2.10 to run the plugin. btw, I'm starting to look into the export template Did you mentioned having a different version of the template? a more updated one?

No I have not tried, but got word from Pier that he is working on it. --jason

Hey Jason, have you tried to install the autoexport plugin in Confluence 2.3.3? for the record, I can't get it to work

I may have an updated template on my local system... will try and find it.

I'm really tempted to hack the AutoExport plugin to pull templates from URL's, so we can configure it to use a URL from SVN for the template... and probably can even get includes working to allow splitting up the template into more manageable bits. But... last I looked at the AE plugin it started to melt my brain... so who knows.

I updated a bunch of pages in GMOxSITE and there are still a lot more to update

For now I'm trying to figure out the best way for using the *News*

I'll take a look at the template later on, unless somebody else wants to jump in ;-) Just in case you don't know this is the URL -> http:// cwiki.apache.org/GMOxSITE/index.html

For the record, I'm getting an exception while trying to delete that space. Created a JIRA (INFRA-1170) with this issue.

Not really, we can nuke it. I'll make a XML bkp and delete it.

We have a tar ball backup in the sandbox for sentimental reasons.

you mean the shaded frame box? I think the difficult part will be the resizing in the css. Creating the graphics should be pretty simple.

Can you find out where the ActiveMQ folks got that sexy box image from? I'd *love* to have a nice box like that (g- styled of course) for our page too :-)

I'm trying to catch up with the News/blog-posts on GMOxSITE as part of the web site update. I created a few tests (added News) but these posts take forever to show up. Any suggestions? Anyway, do you have any idea how could we port the *News* we have on the live site?

Folks,


Proposal:

after lots of separated discussions on different threads it is clear the spirit for moving the authoring of our web site over Confluence. Let's bring to this thread all the ideas and discussion. The idea is to use Confluence as the authoring tool for Geronimo's web site. To achieve this we will use the autoexport plugin already installed and in use on the cwiki.apache.org. With the autoexport plugin we can customize the generated HTML look and feel by using templates. The current POC can be viewed at http://cwiki.apache.org/ GMOxSITE (thx Jason D.)

Some suggestions (mine ;-)  )

- Avoid JIRA references/direct imports, if JIRA is down or running slow it will affect the main web site.

Eh... maybe... though JIRA should not be down or slow. These are also static pages, which only pull images off of the JIRA webapp, but we could remove the icon from the rendering. I personally think its useful to show some JIRA activity on some page on the website. Shows that we are still moving even if the website content isn't.

- Remove edit/print/export links from the generated site. Only Geronimo committers will have edit access

Fine w/me.

- Update the template L&F. Why not? It is a good opportunity to do it !!!

Ya, probably some changes to be made... I like the Cayenne site a lot... clean, simple... nice popup menus.

- Need to define how to integrate the other subprojects web sites (consider confluence spaces too).

Aye, we need a basic theme that works for the main site, documentation sites and sub-project sites.

- pls chime in!!!


I will also look at some alternative templates.

I volunteer to start updating the content (matching with what we already have on the live site), unless somebody else wants to go it!

I really would like to see this happen... so I can lend a hand.
