I agree with this comments but .. I also agree with Brett's intention. One thing which might be helpful is imo better starting page which will display more links. I also have some other idea regarding usability of maven generated sites: I think it would be nice to use "breadcrumbs" section of webpages in bit different (I dare to say) more standard way. One thing which particularly sucks in maven site itself (this also applies to most maven generated sites) is that if you are viewing sites of subproject (like plugins) that you cannot easily come back to parent project. So for example if somebody is viewing the site for maven-site plugin we would see in his breadcrumbs bar the following content maven > plugins > site plugin (maven & plugins are both links) You can see this pattern in action at www.tigris.org or java.net (e.g. here http://style.tigris.org/nonav/docs/sampler_inst.html) I just started to investigate the possibility of implementing such functionality for maven 1. Before I will go further with it (like often I have the idea but not much time for it) I would like to know if this is something which other people will find valuable or maybe even somebody will have a better idea how this aspect of usability can be improved? Also hints regarding possible implementation are much appreciated!
