I tend to think that it would be helpful if we could setup the wiki

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.
I think once the content is developed it should reach the static
site. Whether it comes from some export or we manually move stuff
around. I don't find Confluence very handy actually and I really wish
we had something like Confluenza where you could make something like
a Cocoon site map by picking bits and pieces to render the final
site. I would also love to tag pages and then create some views based
on the tags. I'm not sure if Confluence does this but that would be
ideal.
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...
Sure, I was definitely going to funnel the design documents into
their specific versions so that we can move any content that has
actually made it into Maven separate from works in progress so we can
deal with it appropriate like integrating it into the site and
eliminating the duplicate information which seems to be prevalent.
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.
