Feature Spot: Website Transition to XWiki

The OpenSolaris Website Community migrates opensolaris.org to XWiki on October 26th, 2009 completing phase 2 of the transition. A description of the phases for the transition is available. The Transition FAQ includes answers to your questions about the new XWiki content management system.

Prepare Your Content
To prepare your opensolaris.org web pages and content for migration, check your migrated pages on the new wiki, refer to the Preparing Content for Migration to XWiki document and make any needed modifications to your existing source on opensolaris.org. Report bugs under the Development->Website category with the site-xwiki sub-category in the defect tracking system. New migrations occur every Monday, Wednesday and Friday and are announced on the website-discuss mailing list.

Features and Documentation
Refer to the Site Feature Mapping for an overview of features enabled by the new infrastructure. Read the updated manual for HowTo instructions.

Event: November 3rd, 2009 is the OpenSolaris Security Summit, taking place simultaneously with LISA'09.
