As the ultimate source of what is being processed is the xdoc source in the repository, there would have to be a way of checking this out and converting it into a format Conflunce can understand prior to updating it, or we would have to make Confluence format pages our source format. I'm not really comfortable with that and would rather stick with xdoc as our source format if at all possible. > > > I just what to drastically cut the number of steps and required > > expertise to update our website. > > Let's agree on that goal, and explore what options we have to > achieve it. > There was discussion at ApacheCon regarding a site build > server, which would > ease the publishing effort. David Crossley seemed keen to take it on. Yep. In an earlier mail in this thread that seems to still be wending its merry way to this list, this corresponds to my suggestion of "Reading the Forrest documentation, <<IF>> it is stable enough, we could use Forrest's web. app. to submit and review pages. Once we are happy with them, we could then invoke forrestbot or Ant from the same web. app. to add them to SVN and deploy them to the live server." Such a thing would be especially cool as it could validate pages prior to publsihing - we all make mistakes! -- Steve --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
