I personally like the idea of using the wiki as our primary content mechanism, but I would like it to look better. I understand that's not difficult to do - we'd just need to apply a site template. Alex, is this something you'd be interested in helping with?
But let's say that we have the wiki exporting properly - what is the best way to reference build artifacts and static resources from within the wiki (like the JavaDocs)? Would we just export the site wherever we want and then link to it from within the wiki? Where would the physical files reside? - Les On Fri, Sep 4, 2009 at 1:59 PM, Craig L Russell <[email protected]> wrote: > > On Sep 4, 2009, at 7:26 AM, Les Hazlewood wrote: > >> Sure, I think that's a good idea. >> >> Mentors - where can this site be hosted and how do we automate the >> push to that location? > > The project needs to decide whether to publish the Maven-generated site as > "The Shiro Site", or whether to use the confluence wiki as the official > site. > > The place to publish the result is http://incubator.apache.org/shiro > > Look at http://incubator.apache.org/ki/ for what is currently being done. > > Once the project decides on the strategy for generating content, > infrastructure can help with the mechanical details of automatically > generating and pushing the site live. > > Craig >> >> Thanks, >> >> Les >> >> On Fri, Sep 4, 2009 at 10:17 AM, Kalle Korhonen >> <[email protected]> wrote: >>> >>> On Fri, Sep 4, 2009 at 12:23 AM, Salazar, >>> Alexander<[email protected]> wrote: >>>> >>>> Even though a 1.0 has not yet been released, I think it would be helpful >>>> to get to-date Shiro API documentation online and available. >>>> According to Les, "Maven auto-generates not just the API documentation, >>>> but an entire site.
