i'm not sure whether we've been walking a bit at cross purposes (or not). i was talking about just the jexl website.

I think the Commons website is slowly gravitating to a project not having
a link to its siblings. So +1 to removing the nav-bar elements linking to
projects.
Are you planning to remove the other elements? Community, Chart etc?
i hadn't really given it much thought until you asked :) some of the stuff might be useful but it'd need grouping under new headings.I think it's more a problem of all the other Commons projects with maven/forrest like l&f's. I mailed a proposed basic info-arch to Jakarta General, but I suspect that I'm the only one with an itch for information architecture. I really need to quit this coding lark and go learn to be a librarian. As Commons is getting a bit more varied as a group, simplifying the Commons site makes sense. Maintaining labelling and a common-set of required information is still needed though.
i agree that some guidelines for the websites of maven/centipede generated components would be useful but i don't think that there's much chance of generating interest or consensus on a mailing list. maybe adding a document to the website would be a better plan. i - for one - would be likely to measure the site against a set of good practices when creating a basic website for a new component or when creating a new release for an existing component.
