Do you think it is worth of an attempt? Or should we postpone this
process?
And also: if we request the 4 spaces as above, will we be able to
setup (in the future) Confluence as the main web site
(ofbiz.apache.org) or we will need to request a special setup for
this?
But maybe, before we go on with the request, should we spend some
time to review the Confluence spaces we will need?
Here are some ideas for a discussions:
a) could OFBENDUSER and OFBTECH be unified in one space (and simply
logically separated by separate branches in the content tree Tech/
User docs?
b) where will reside the official OFBiz site? (right now most of the
pages are in the open/Wiki part...)
Another layout could be:
OFBIZWIKI (open, for general purpose Wiki site)
OFBIZDOCS (restricted access, for tech/user docs)
OFBIZ (restricted access, for the official site and admin/PMC
resources)
I think the idea of combining the end user and tech spaces is fine.
For the last one in your list (OFBIZ) we should probably qualify the
name to avoid confusion, ie use something like "OFBIZADMIN",
especially since we've been using the space name "OFBIZ" for the open
wiki. I do like the idea of calling that OFBIZWIKI though so that they
all have more specific and meaningful names.
I'm not sure technically how we can make "ofbiz.apache.org" go to a
confluence page, except maybe through a redirect or something.
Confluence might have something for this though, ie something to
support multiple domains and to map a domain to a specific default
page. Do we really want to do this now though? There is also the
problem (may not be too hard) of how to remove the confluence
decoration so just our page is left. Also, the infra team might have a
hard time with the home page going directly to confluence given
performance of dynamic pages. I think most projects that do this
actually generate static HTML from their confluence pages and then
that is served over standard HTTPD.
Anyway, if or however we do that I'd say the home page should go in
the OFBIZADMIN space. I don't think we want just anyone able to edit
it... that makes it too easy to spam or abuse.
