[Geoserver-devel] moving to github pages and github wiki

[Justin D. <jde...@op...>]

Hey folks,

Starting a new thread on this topic. I think we all think moving to github
hosted infrastructure will be good. Plus it will give us a chance to clean
out some old content.

So as I see it this is what has to happen.

1. We port any content from the confluence wiki to the github wiki. I am
thinking this includes everything linkable from the home page (linkable and
not external like docs, etc... ). This includes:

- Download pages
- GSIPs
- RnD (mostly irrelevant but might be a few pages we want to save)
- Roadmap (not in its current form but more or less just the release
schedule)
- Mailing Lists, Contributors, etc...

Porting all of this content to the github wiki would be time consuming. I
am wondering if a reasonable approach would be to export the current
contents of the wiki that we care about and host them as html. Basically
just for historical purposes. And then for new content: GSIP's, RnD and
Download pages, we would use the github wiki.

2. We dump the static frontpage of geoserver.org into a gh-pages branch in
our repo. We'll have to update all the side bar links to point to the wiki
content.

Thoughts?
