That's the page I mentioned in my former mail. But then it requires
maintenance if something is added. Someone may make a PDF version ofthe
1.0 doc, and use it as a reference. From that doc, he doesn't get the
updates on something that may be relevant to him, even if maven itself
hasn't changed.

That's why I think it should be separate from the main site, just having
a link to it. Using Jira is good because the infrastructure is there,
but it is not easy to format the info the way you want it. Maybe a
plugin site would help. You could also add RSS seeds for news about
plugins coming from different sites, etc...

The problem with that is the following: if I search for a plugin, I have
to go through all the plugins sites. And maybe the plugins I want are on
a site not registered there. If someone works on a plugin or would like
to have a new plugin, of course he can mail the dev/user list, but it is
not that user friendly.

I see maven as a really flexible tool, and now that it is 1.0 more and
more people will use it. 

I think centralizing the plugins info, not the plugins themselves (I
like the idea of separate communities), might be interesting. A sort of
yahoo directory for maven or would-be maven plugins.
