[Openoss-devel] Using Confluence

[Craig G. (opennms) <cg...@op...>]

Hi Pierre,

I see you have started creating a number of spaces in confluence. 
Great.  I am in the process of trying to migrate our media wiki content 
into the wiki under what is called the imported space for now. Once it 
is migrated, then we can work on formatting for the new wiki.

Ive done quite a bit with confluence over the last year and from my 
experience I think it would be better to put the majority of projects as 
sub-categories within one 'developers' space rather than create a new 
space for each project. The intention of the space system is to allow us 
to have completely isolated spaces with different users and access 
permissions. In Apache's use of confluence they appear to use one space 
per project.  It is a little difficult to move content between spaces 
and also to ensure that search works across spaces. By all means have a 
play but don't get carried away with too many spaces. If we create too 
many separate spaces everything becomes a bit difficult to control.   It 
is probably better to limit the number of spaces we use (much as in a 
normal wiki where there is no concept of spaces).

Cheers

Craig
