If you looked a little deeper you'd find this isn't quite true. There
are quite a few things in place already and something to maintain
documentation and replace Confluence wouldn't be too difficult, and
would be far more integrated with other things like project management
for smoother and more consistent UI flow.

2) This is contradictory with your proposition in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-2133
. If we switch from Confluence to OFBiz CMS, how will you achieve
your proposition there ?

An example of a self-hosting documentation:
http://drupal.org/handbooks
Would be great to have for OFBiz !

Hi Jacopo, All,
Looks great : simple! And the way you presented things look more
like
documentations of other reputed Apache TLP Projects (Geronimo,
ServiceMix,
etc.)
I think we still have an effort to do in order to present things
in Wiki
like if OFBiz was an easy thing to play with (wich is false but
that's
marketing, isn'it ? ;o)
We should try to put more effort in documentation : removing old
stuffes,
simplyfing, *ordering*. Look for instance at ServiceMix
http://servicemix.apache.org
It looks very easy to use, isn'it (after reading a couple of pages
it's the
impression I got) ? And we know it's not!
What we need most is efforts coordination, to try to put something
like
these other projects in place (a sort of book with ordered, easy
to find,
pages)
Our documentation looks terrible in comparaison http://docs.ofbiz.org
or
even http://docs.ofbiz.org/pages/listpages-dirview.action?key=OFBENDUSER
How could we achieve it ? Not having the Confluence export
available (is
that true?) should not be a reason.
We have already discussed about that, and if I recall correctly
the last
option was to use our own dog food. But is that possible ? Shall
we really
able to achieve this in a reasonable time duration ?
Also Bruno is proposing something very interesting about help
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-2133
Thanks to have read me so far, waiting for your opinions :o)

PS : I intentionnaly don't post this in user ML, I don't expect
much from
users at this stage...

Hi all,
you may be interested in this "experimental" new "Hello World!"
tutorial, that makes use of the new "create-component" target to
setup the
layout of a new component.
I really think that the OFBiz framework is becoming very powerful:
writing an "Hello World!" application is really a matter of
writing "Hello
World!" inside of a "label" element in a screen definition.
Cheers,
Jacopo
