Every time a page is edited a plugin to Confluence runs which exports
that page to a folder on people.apache.org. That gets rysnced to the
web site every hour or so. That plugin is where the site design is
applied to the pages as well, as it allowed for a templated output,
however there are a bunch of limitations in the templates so we
should keep an eye out for improvements there.
The other limitation is that it appears pages are never deleted by
this mechanism and that indirect changes do not have effect. For
instance new news on the front page does not seem to appear unless
you 'touch' the front page to have it regenerate.
The Confluence spaces: CAYDOC, CAYDOC12, CAYDOC2, CAYSITE are all
exported in this way. There is a little script which puts them all
into the right places within the html folder.
The other part of the site is the Javadocs for trunk (3.0) which are
generated nightly by a script on people.apache.org.
