Hi Team, I was working this evening on creating an Apache CMS version of
the Roller website (quite thankfully, most of Roller is on the
Confluence Wiki and that doesn't need conversion):
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-5631 . This was in response
to an email sent to the CXF PMC* listing our project among a few dozen
needing an upgrade.
To create the site, I did exactly what the incubating Apache JSPWiki
does: http://incubator.apache.org/jspwiki/development/edit_website.html
. Note the instructions on that page, as well as the instructions that
it links to on building the CMS site locally before committing
(http://apache.org/dev/cmsref.html#local-build) were updated earlier by
me and I tried to make the instructions as clear as possible.
It would be good if others besides me tried to build the "cmssite" on
their local machine (
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/roller/trunk/cmssite/) using the
instructions above, just so you know how to do it. Once this is in
place, I suspect this will be a rare process as the Apache CMS allows
you to make updates on-the-page for those with committer rights, quite
similar to Confluence. The problem with building locally, however, is
that for some reason the stylesheets do not get activated (even building
Apache JSPWiki locally I encountered the same problem, although I
thought I had it working before with them...), even though they are
available and being called seemingly properly by the HTMLs. I think my
next step is to see if Infra can create a staging (non-production) area
or a temporary roller2.apache.org for me to test that the stylesheets
are getting activated if hosted on a web server. Once this process is
working, then we can switch the Apache CMS version to
roller.apache.org. Thoughts, comments welcome.
Regards,
Glen
