[sorry for the late reply, I didn't have any email for 2 days]
I agree with Jason here. The site-tools seem to belong rather into the
site-plugin than into doxia. I think the current close connection has
some drawbacks, it provokes confusion about responsibilities (example:
anchor creation for section titles, clearly a task for site-tools but
currently done in the modules).
However, right now it's not completely true that one can use the core
without the site-tools (see xhtml sink), but in principle it should be
like that, and it's one of my goals to achieve that for beta-1.
So IMO we should unify the version number and release them together for
now. Once they are functionally independent we can think about
separating them.

To date, I have always been in favour of one trunk, and one version.
I understand the need for a clear separate and for Doxia to be useful
without the site tools, but I don't think separating the releases was
the right way to do it.
I use them completely separately. I barely touch the site generation
stuff in my integration. The site tools are completely layered upon the
core. If they are going to be clear and separate then they are released
separately and have separate trunks. I think people who currently work
on them have never used them for anything other then the site plugin.
It's also not hard to create another JIRA project.
I don't particularly care if people want to glob them back together but
they are functionally separate. I can use the core without the site
tools, one is clearly and extension of the other. In this alpha state
changes in the site tools require changes in the core but that should
not be the case for very long.

Creating a separate thread for release questions...
Do we have two releases in reality? On one hand we have doxia:doxia
(currently slated for alpha-9) and on the other we have
doxia:doxia-sitetools (currently slated for 1.0). Is everybody OK
with those versions?
I am not. Having two different versions for these two will totally
mess up JIRA. Therefor I'd like to use 1.0-alpha-9 for both, this
time. If we want separate releases for them in the future, then we
need two separate projects for doxia and doxia-sitetools in JIRA.
In order for the maven-site-plugin to be able to use the new
doxia:doxia we need to release doxia:doxia-sitetools.
Are there any other questions regarding the release?
