I've updated the docs a bit, and gotten much (but not all!) of the FOP, Batik & Commons content into the CMS...
We're still missing an adequate navigation system, so I did a preliminary job of getting a few links in the sidenav, but it's incomplete and ugly as sin. We'll need to build a mechanism to hide (collapse?) non-relevant links, but that shouldn't be too hard. We also need to figure out java-docs, download.cgi, and perhaps some other issues...
