Re: [PROPOSAL]: throw away the 'forrest' web site in favor of exporting the confluence site

+1 for Confluence.

I know more or less how the Confluence auto-export stuff works, but
there are two technical questions that are not clear to me:

1. Where and how are the export templates maintained?
2. How is the exported content (https://cwiki.apache.org/WS) going to
be published to http://ws.apache.org and how will we manage the fact
that some subprojects continue to use generated (Maven) sites?
