Anyone know what smtp server is available in our zone that will relay? Need one for Confluence email notifications. --jason On Dec 3, 2005, at 2:32 PM, David Blevins wrote: On Dec 3, 2005, at 2:14 PM, Jason Dillon wrote: Is there a MySQL database available for Geronimo use?

Re: Confluence Setup (was: Re: zones update)
FYI, MoinMoin ain't got nuthin on the latest plugins for Confluence,
like the Composition plugin:
http://www.randombits.org/display/CONF/Home
If you haven't seen these, you really gotta check them out. The tabs
and clocking macros turn any ordinary flat wiki page into a dynamic
documentation application.
Um, anyways... Its been a long time since I was on the infra list...
but I tend to recall they listen to reason, and I believe that the
move to Confluence is more than reasonable. So perhaps they just
need a bit more convincing and a hearty nudge.

There has been some raging debate over weather we should use
Confluence over on the infrastruture list. The powers that be say
we've already got a wiki and we should just use it. The alternative
was that we run our own Confluence instance from the Solaris zone -
that went over like a lead balloon with infrastructure.

Re: Confluence Setup (was: Re: zones update)
At the time which I recommended to the Infra list to switch from
UseMod to MoinMoin, I did not think that Confluence was going to grow
up as fast as it did... or I would have been more inclined to
recommend Confluence.
But, things change...
And I believe that Confluence is really a much more powerful system
than MoinMoin is and will be for quite some time.
The added niceness of the rich integration with JIRA makes Confluence
an ideal choice for managing rich release notes.
And now with Confluence 2.x there is a RTE so even people who aren't
wiki savvy can easily add to the content.
Oh, and not to mention that it has built in support for "farming"...
aka spaces, and a much richer permission system.
I could go on...
Right now, I think that Geronimo would really benefit from Confluence
to produce and manage user documentation.
I think that Infra might eventually want to move to it for
wiki.apache.org too, but right now I don't think we should push for
that. We can lead by example. And when/if they want to switch I can
help them migrate, it should be much easier than the UseMod to
MoinMoin move that was done... um 2 years ago... I forget.
