This is interesting. Scott and I have lamented for weeks how best to
approach the documentation/web site problem. We are "reasonably" comfortable
in confluence now and that is probably the best near term solution. All the
others are a steep learning curve for us.

If Felix has succeeded in generating static pages from confluence for their
primary site, then I am interested in learning how to set that up.
