uPortal Documentation BOF at JA-SIG Winter 2004:
The conference web site does not currently have this BOF on the agenda but it will occur on Monday 4:45-5:45.
A volunteer is needed to take notes during the BOF (ideally directly into the Wiki)
BOF Agenda
- New documentation site should also be a channel on the clearinghouse; CWebProxy elements should be added to the tags to support this.
Presentation of Anakia driven documentation
TikiWiki vs. Confluence (let's vote)
Proposal: Migrate from TikiWiki hosted by Yale University to Confluence hosted by Clearinghouse.
TikiWiki -> Confluence migration plan
JIRA: Migration from Bugzilla issues.

Nominees to be administrators of the JIRA project for uPortal Documentation
the JIRA project for uPortal Channels and Portlets
This project was eliminated in favor of an open offer to create projects for specific channels and portlets. Creating a JIRA project specific to a channel or portlet project facilitates using JIRA's versioning and release features.

- Ken Weiner
- Bill Thompson
- Eric Dalquist
- Andrew Petro
- John Fereira
Integration of Wiki with the offical web site
- Should content on the Wiki be used to populate content on the web site?
- If content exists on the web site should it be duplicated on the wiki?
- What kind of things go in the Wiki, the web site and the Clearinghouse?
The future of uPortal documentation: other technologies (Maven?, DocBook?)
We were planning to migrate the documentation on the website to the Clearinghouse. Perhaps it
would be better to convert the useful documentation to Confluence.
We want the Clearinghouse to show the power of uPortal so I would be against getting rid of it.
We have suggested that we get rid of the Web site but there were objections to that. I think
a tight integration of uPortal, Jira and Confluence would be way cool.
It seems like the wiki would be a much better place for documentation, due to the ease of updating, free revision tracking, export options, etc. Eventually perhaps the website could be phased out in favor of locked "gateway" Confluence pages into the rest of the documentation with some redone templates to minimize the wiki-ness and help prevent referrer/trackback spam? With an easy login for the full editing interface. (hmmm... kind of like vi)
Perhaps we can gradually integrate the Wiki and JIRA into the clearinghouse portal, possibly even as a model of tying together different systems using uPortal. Maybe some kind of phased approach?
Jason,
