Hello Eduardo
The more times I look at your email, the more it looks like a proposal.
Before we go with that, some opinions/thoughts :
* Anything other than plain wiki is resource intensive and I think
we dont have such luxury.
* What content can move to the wiki is another big question, as many
articles/blogs are older than 6 months (would people read stuff
from beyond a certain period of time?)
* Searching function could come from JSPWiki if it can support
category/subcategory searches, if not then I would readily go for
embedding Google site search. I dont see any harm with this.
* Could you ask Abhijit if Senthil will be available for fine tuning
category/sub-category search for JSPWiki?
* I am all for folding GlassFish Extras, How-to instructions,
Samples, Screencasts, and Presentations into one Hub Page for
Users called (possibly) GlassFish User Resources. Other name
suggestions are welcome.
regards
Shreedhar
