Howdy!

As I described before in one of my previous emails I would like to improve
the usability of maven generated websites and add the possibility of adding
links to parent modules. 

The example of such functionality can be found here
http://style.tigris.org/nonav/docs/sampler_tigris.html 
(I mean those links like "Foo > Bar > Baz > Bat" )


When somebody will start viewing the website at page like that
http://geronimo.apache.org/modules/jetty/index.html  
it won't be a dead end for him anymore! 
He will be able to click on link which will take you one or two levels up in
the hierarchy of pages and from there navigate to sibling modules.


At the movement  the best solution which I found is to

a) move information which currently is put in "breadcrumbs" section (I mean
something like  "Last published: 29 November 2004 11:54 CET | Doc for
1.0.1-SNAPSHOT" ) 
to the page footer (left side of it)
  
b) add new tags to navigation.xml:



<project 
    <title>yyy/title>
    <body>         
          <taxonomy>
                 <item name="Maven" href="http://maven.apache.org"/>

                 <item name="Plugins"
href="http://maven.apache.org/plugins/index.html"/>            
          <taxonomy>
        
        <links>
            <item name="Apache" href="http://www.apache.org"/>            
        </links>

        <menu name="Overview">
            <item name="Overview" href="/index.html"/>
        </menu>

    </body>
</project>


Somebody has a good idea how to name this new tag. I used the name
<taxonomy> at the moment but I am not convinced that this is a best name.

Anybody is against this change or have a better idea how to implement such
functionality?
If not I can try to implement it in next few days...

It would be even nicer if "taxonomy" tree can be deducted from location of
given module in the source tree (I think it  will be possible with unified
source tree)
