+1 for achieving consistency as a first step. If we want to use the Maven multi-project plug-in, having everything Mavenised first will (probably) make that easier. (I say "probably" because I've never played with the multi-project stuff myself.) Regarding publishing the sites, I'm not all that worried about that. There is already a system in place to automatically update the main Jakarta site periodically (i.e. every few hours), and I suspect it wouldn't be hard to piggy back on that. Of course, that will be easier when we have one Commons site to update, rather than one per component, but hey, baby steps first. ;-) When I find a few minutes, I'll try to put up a page on the wiki to help us organise this effort, with a list of tasks that need to happen to get us where we want to be.
