Infrastructure require projects to change the way releases and
websites are published by the end of this year.
[See separate mail for releases]

The current process is that sites are updated by uploading files to
minotaur (people.a.o), but this is to be changed so that sites are
stored in SVN and the public website will be directly updated from
there.
This will eliminate the delay which currently occurs between updating
minotaur and the website being visible publicly.

The JMeter website is currently stored in SVN (apart from apidocs), so
in theory svnpubsub should work very well for us.

However, we currently rely on using a branch for each JMeter version
so we can update trunk separately.
Infra have said that they will only support using a single unchanging
SVN URL, so we'll need to change the way we manage different site
versions.
I hope we can continue as currently, but release the site by copying
the site from the branch to the target URL.

I need to find out if this will work and be acceptable.
