Okay. It was just an idea for how the community can add commentary to our content without any of us having to do anything. The community could still choose to use it, of course - it's more a question of whether or not we promote it and take feedback from it. I guess what I'm thinking is that, after this long, I can't imagine so much change coming to the S1 docs that converting them all to Confluence and then making the changes will actually save time over just making those changes to what we have. My expectation is that you'd spend far, far more time in the conversion than you'd save in any subsequent updates. That said, though, if that's where your itch lies, you are of course welcome to scratch it. :-) -- Martin Cooper > Paul > > On Sat, Dec 26, 2009 at 8:03 PM, Martin Cooper <mart...@apache.org> wrote: >> On Sat, Dec 26, 2009 at 5:42 PM, Paul Benedict <pbened...@apache.org> wrote: >>> Can we defer the research into another wiki?
