Hi George, I echo what Andrea writes. I am currently migrating the OpenOffice forums to new VMs and then need to plan additional upgrades.
I was the one who did the bulk of the Apache CMS work with OpenOffice.org and understand exactly how the pages are built from templates and css. When I have more time in December I can look at how to convert the pages. We’ve kept all language sites including over 100 languages in case a community ever returns. (Mongolian has some nice Yurt icons.) Files are either in the original pre-Apache html or in Markdown. We should evaluate whatever generation system we decide to use to figure out the best way to preserve as much as possible. You might get a handle on the structure from making use of the instructions on this page.
