The Confluence wiki is used to edit the content of the jackrabbit.apache.org web site. The web site can only be edited by people with CLAs on file, so we need something with good access controls. However, after having used the Confluence wiki now for a longer while I'm not very happy with it. The auto-export stuff is quite limited and the change notifications are quite useless at the moment without proper diffs. The MoinMoin wiki is reasonably nice and seems to be working well for us, so I'd like to keep it. Unfortunately it doesn't have enough functionality to be used for editing the official Jackrabbit web site. The main reason why we originally switched to Confluence for editing the Jackrabbit web site was the painful process for publishing changes. Since then the infra team has lifted the requirement of keeping the published site in svn, so we could set up a CI process for building and deploying the web site from some nice APT-formatted source files in svn. This is what I'm currently planning to do for the JCR Commons subproject. Perhaps we should do the same also for the main Jackrabbit web site? BR, Jukka Zitting
