Except the javadocs for the API and ApacheDS, I wouldn't deploy anything else 
on the "new website infrastructure".

To me, only API and ApacheDS, which are projects that can be used/embedded 
within other applications.
I don't think it really make sense for Studio which is a GUI tool.

Since the move to the "new website infrastructure", things are much more 
complicated with the use of multiple SVN repository (development, staging, 
production).
That's why I think we should only generates and upload javadocs for the API and 
ApacheDS on the website.

On the infrastructure ML, I think I remember having seen a discussion where the 
projects could use the CI Builds to generate and host all the reports on those 
machines.
If we really want to generate reports, which can be really be helpful 
sometimes, I'd recommend we follow this route.
I'll try to find the corresponding ML thread and post the link here.

Pierre-Arnaud
