We already have a webspace put up for us at http://avalon.apache.org/ and
I think we should take the oportunity to start a migration over to the new
location.

In the WIKI, I have outlined my thoughts on the content of the Avalon site,
and the link can be viewed here:
http://nagoya.apache.org/wiki/apachewiki.cgi?AvalonSiteChangeProposal

As to the structure of the Avalon Site, I suggest we take the Jakarta
approach.  I am not commiting to any one document generation system, but
rather to how they manage their site:

The "avalon-site" module will contain the XDocs for the main Avalon site
and PMC information.  We might even want to put our generic guides into
that repository.  The look and feel and doc generation code will all reside
in the "avalon-site" CVS module.

Each project will have its own XDocs directory (just like now), with links
provided by the main avalon-site module to the project.  I see having a
total of three CVS repositories:

avalon-sandbox (already done)
avalon-site (can be a simple rename of jakarta-avalon-site and manage the
             change from there).
avalon (all the production code).


All the other CVS repositories will be archived and migrated progressively
to their final maintenance places.

Our releases will use the mirroring approach already outlined.

I think all of these changes will help us reduce the heavy weight of
the Avalon site, and bring things back into a place where we can
look and think like a single community again.

Thoughts?
