This is exactly the tact taken with the Codehaus artifacts. In this particular case Maven is closely connected with Codehaus, but I still discussed things with Bob (the codehaus despot) to arrange everything. > The goal here is to build a stable and scalable repository of trusted > content, not to have a "anarchy" diskspace where you can't trust anyones > content.

Having a sync from Codehaus would infact be a step in the right direction. > With this is mind, Jason, how close are we to having "hierarchical" > organization/group directories?

It's one of the things on the list but will be more a requisite for the first beta release of maven2. The first alpha will use the existing format. It's really not a technical problem, more a matter of deciding the format which will most likely come to the fore when the first alpha of wagon goes out the door -- jvz.
