Actually I already started down this path some time ago after
studying the Incubator docs - I checked in a redirecting .htaccess to
subversion and checked it out on the server (so now http://
incubator.apache.org/cayenne/ is a working url).
I guess the next step would be organizing those few Anakia-built
pages that make up the static site in a Maven project and moving them
to SVN. I don't see a problem checking in the generated pages to SVN
- makes deployment easier.
So Bill or Jean, whoever has time to do that, please go ahead.
BTW, there is one "dynamic" piece - the mailing list archive. The
archive is generated by hypermail and message counters are reset by a
Perl script that receives the archive emails. I know all Apache
projects use a separate archive (and new Cayenne lists are archived
there as well), so I guess we can keep archives on ObjectStyle.
