Hi David,

Sure!

So to refresh on how Apache & Confluence work, we have the actual 
confluence install here - I'm not sure that you need to get this going 
on your local machine. And then this gets exported here - 
http://cwiki.apache.org/ABDERA/.

This exporting is done via the auto-export plugin. What we need to do is 
tweak the auto-export configuration to use a reasonable template. I 
think this can be done here:

http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/admin/autoexport/configuration.action

In essence all one needs to do is go to "edit template" then paste in 
something appropriate. My idea was that maybe we could steal the 
ApacheDS template and tweak the color scheme/logo a bit? I'm open to 
anything else you're willing to do though. My main concern at this point 
is that there is no navigation bar on the exported site. And of course 
the big secondary concern is its sort of ugly :-)

Some random notes:
* You may need special permissions to do this. If so, email me your JIRA 
username and I'll arrange that.
* I'm not sure that you need to get Confluence going on your local 
machine. Its ok if our site looks bad for a little bit while someone 
sorts it out. If its going to be any extended period of time you can 
always hit "Restore Default" for the Abdera auto-export configuration.
* Once you change a template you can reexport the Abdera space on the 
autoexport configuration page.

Does that make sense?

- Dan
