I looked at middlman. It is for 'hand-made' sites. Looks nice. Just putting our README.md in place of the index.html in default site I got this http://people.apache.org/~stack/htrace_mm_site/ so markdown works (just need to read how to get the styling in there). On other hand, just doing mvn site got me this far: http://people.apache.org/~stack/htrace_mvn_site/ which is kinda attractive. I don't have much time for website making. Maybe someone else does though. Otherwise I'd be inclined toward the one takes the least amount of work.
