Hi Brian,

pages served under jspwiki.apache.org are built using the jbake branch at
https://github.com/apache/jspwiki-site/ That's an static site, which serves
mainly
for two things:
1.- serve javadocs
2.- as a backup site of jspwiki-wiki.apache.org

jspwiki-wiki.apache.org is a JSPWiki application that we use as
documentation of JSPWiki, and as such their pages are stored (and backed
up, but that's
another story) on VM provided by ASF Infra. IIRC, you can set up your
account there and edit where appropiate. There are several people which
look from time to
time to edit whatever necessary in order to avoid spam and have the
documentation focused and in order. If you want to propose a change on a
protected page
perhaps the best way is to discuss the change here at dev@j.a.o and it will
be eventually carried over.

As a side note, jspwiki.a.o, as a backup site, contains the minimum pages
to run the project page (mailing lists, news, where's the source code, etc.)

Thanks very much, Juan Pablo,

After a quick read, your helpful advice seems to make sense with respect to what I found - or didn't find!

I will try to diff a small change soon to see how it goes in practice.

I can see you are busy, so I just wanted to let you know I appreciated you taking the time to point me in a productive direction.

Brian

HTH,

I'm feeling pretty dumb today. After several weeks messing around with
M3 and my plugin, I decided to do a clean install by following the
extensive notes I made the first time around, but skipping all the dead
ends. My intention was to suggest some changes to the JSPWiki wiki
reflecting the gotchas I encountered before I did anything towards
deploying my own code.

I've done lots of searches, and scraped through my old emails, but
nothing helped me. I found my question (with the title above) to the Dev
list almost a year ago, which was not answered directly. Juan Pablo
implemented my suggested changes at the time, which were simple text
blocks in an email. I hoped to make it easier for everyone this time,
but so far I've failed miserably.

In my searches I stumbled across this page:

http://jspwiki.apache.org/development/edit_website.html

.. but it didn't tell me enough to get to the "static source" of the
pages I would like to be changed.

Hidden under a hyperlink to "This Repository" I discovered:

https://github.com/apache/jspwiki-site/

I separately cloned the trunk, as well as the jbake and asf-site
branches. It is true these directory trees contain a content
subdirectory, and even the source for a lot of pages (including,
ironically, the edit_website page), but not the page I was most
interested in having changed, which is:

https://jspwiki-wiki.apache.org/Wiki.jsp?page=Getting%20Started

I submitted several diffs to the apacheds project last year, so I
checked the repository for that web site (wiki)... all the relevant page
sources were where I expected to find them, with names I expected.

I'm baffled and find myself having to ask for help yet again. Clearly, I
am missing a vital concept at the moment. Could anyone help by giving me
simple directions to obtain the source to the Getting Started page, please?

Apologies!

Brian
