Are we going to use confluence as a replacement for our current website (http://ant.apache.org/ivy), or only as a replacement for our wiki (http://wiki.apache.org/ivy/) ?

If you can move straight in to Confluence 2.8, that will let you
do page ordering which helps a lot if you want to export your
site to PDF as a User Guide/PDF manual. It also seems to do
a slightly better job formatting code examples.

Cheers, Paul.
