Hi Dave, Can you please clarify what you mean by “someone of my stature [sic]” should do something about the tools supplied by Apache? It’s not my responsibility - it’s the community’s responsibility and infra’s responsibility from a perspective of aiding the communities here at the foundation.
Has anyone from the Apache Cassandra PMC contacted infra@ and discussed tooling options for documentation? The CMS supports markdown, and pretty much any flavor of external tool (it just needs to be hooked in). Confluence is pretty good - have you tried it? MoinMoin, admittedly, is extremely basic. There are a variety of options. Regardless of the state of the tooling, the documentation for Apache Cassandra needs to live with the PMC, and not on an external company’s website. Period.
