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.
OK, I must admit I have not yet a complete knowledged of OFBiz CMS.
As I trust you, I guess it should be the way to go then. Especially if we are able to easier/better coordinate efforts using the
project manager though I don't see how practically it could be used. Of course my lack of use of the project manager is also the
reson I guess..
Some things to learn before beginning hence.

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)

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
