I tend to think that it would be helpful if we could setup the wiki spaces
for Maven (the tool, not the over-arching umbrella project) in the following
ways:

1. separate content areas for 2.0.x, 2.1.x, 2.2.x, etc.
2. each content area should be setup to look like a developer-oriented
website for Maven
3. eventually, we should setup a sync process to mirror these
developer-oriented sites to a subsection of the main Maven site

In other words, it would be great if we could map the content in the wiki
directly into the static maven website in some way, and use it to drive
developer-oriented content like design discussions, architecture, etc.
Ideally, the categories in this dev-subsite should mirror those in jira,
confluence, etc. Once we've achieved this uniformity, we should look at ways
to monitor it so it doesn't get out of hand again, and actively maintain
that category list.

That's just some initial thoughts. This stuff looks good for a starting
point, Jason, but can we reorg it to be more version-centric? Sort of like a
Home that says "Choose your Maven version" then displays the stuff you have
now in the Taxonomy section under a new Maven 2.1.x section or something...

Thanks for the good work.

If you want to cobble something together for this page:

http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVEN/Maven+Sandbox

I'll add it while I'm working on it the next few days. I'm just going
to clean stuff up before we start serious 2.1.x discussions as it's
impossible to glean anything decent so you have a couple of days
before I move on to other things.
