Not that this is really the thread for it, but +1 on trying out xwiki! Namely because Vincent is an insider (always nice to have) and I never really liked Confluence much anyway.

Hi Jason, Sounds very good to me. You're right that making things surface is a good thing. It requires more discipline but Maven being so successful and so many people relying on it now makes it a necessity I think to better control its evolution. Now all you need is a good wiki that allows you easier implementation/ follow up of that process... ;-) It would be real easy with xwiki to have a template for proposals and have a status combo box on each proposal that you could use to move a proposal between states. That would then allow you to query the proposals and list them on the dashboard page in the right category and do other nice things... (like, automatically send an email when a proposal in the draft state hasn't been touched for the past 6 months, or whatever comes to mind). -Vincent XWiki Developer (just to show that I'm probably biased... ;)) On Jun 26, 2007, at 1:02 AM, Jason van Zyl wrote: > Hi, > > As part of trying to make the whole process of making changes and > adding new features transparent to everyone involved I've whipped > up a little sketch for perusal: > > http://people.apache.org/~jvanzyl/DevProcess.png > > Basically it revolves around making sure things are documented in > the Wiki and providing a clear record of the evolution of the > project that anyone can follow at any point in time.
