Craig-

Unfortunately, it seems that all of the pages that embed dynamic content (like RSS feeds) need to be "touched" to force an update to the content.

The cumbersome process is as follows:

1. Go to http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/openjpa/Mailing% 20Lists 2. Log in and edit the page. To make the process even more annoying, Confluence is clever enough to ignore trivial whitespace changes (e.g., adding a newline at the very end of the text). However, you can add a newline before one of the "h2" sections, and that will trigger the re-export process. 3. Observe that the exported page at http://cwiki.apache.org/openjpa/ mailing-lists.html now contains the most recent mailing list posts 4. Wait a couple hours, and then observe that the official mirror of the confluence export at http://openjpa.apache.org/mailing-lists.html now contains the most recent posts.

I don't know how other projects are handling this. I would think that the best way to solve this would be to automatically re-export all of the pages each night, but that would require some infra work. Perhaps the ASF infra people might have suggestions for making this process a little more automatic.

PS. There is actually another way to re-export *all* the pages on the site, ensuring that all their embedded content is updated, but you need confluence administrator access, which I don't think most people have. You can do it going to http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/admin/ autoexport/configuration.action , selecting "OpenJPA" in the long "Rebuild exported spaces" list, then clicking "Export space(s)".

I notice that the mailing lists page of our site http:// openjpa.apache.org/mailing-lists.html was last updated in August. Is the update supposed to be manual or automagic?
