Thanks a ton for this report Jody - I was definitely thinking that modeling after confluence would be the way to go. The way they do it seems quite sane to me. Eventually it could be nice to also persist to a database, but I think for a start we should just model how they do things. Perhaps add this as a comment to the geoserver_home jira task?
