Patrick Hunt commented on ZOOKEEPER-925:
----------------------------------------
At this point to move fwd we need to work on 2 main areas:
1) site gen
2) doc conversion
item 1) is looking pretty good, but some work yet to be done, icons and
look/feel mainly
item 2) just requires us to decide which if any format we want to standardize
on and then try moving some docs to that format.
I would highly suggest that our "standard/preferred" format be confluence
format -- we can move our wiki to there at some point, which will match up
nicely.

> See WHIRR-19 for some background.
> In whirr we looked at a number of site/doc generation facilities. In the end
> Maven site generation plugin turned out to be by far the best option. You can
> see our nascent site here (no attempt at styling,etc so far):
> http://incubator.apache.org/whirr/
> In particular take a look at the quick start:
> http://incubator.apache.org/whirr/quick-start-guide.html
> which was generated from
> http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/whirr/trunk/src/site/confluence/quick-start-guide.confluence
> notice this was standard wiki markup (confluence wiki markup, same as
> available from apache)
> You can read more about mvn site plugin here:
> http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-site.html
> Notice that other formats are available, not just confluence markup, also
> note that you can use different markup formats if you like in the same site
> (although probably not a great idea, but in some cases might be handy, for
> example whirr uses the confluence wiki, so we can pretty much copy/paste
> source docs from wiki to our site (svn) if we like)
> Re maven vs our current ant based build. It's probably a good idea for us to
> move the build to maven at some point. We could initially move just the doc
> generation, and then incrementally move functionality from build.xml to mvn
> over a longer time period.
