Yup.

Aye. +1 to anakia. I think I'm -0 on maven2 at least for now (see below).

I think Brett kind-of volunteered himself the other day to help us set that
up. One advantage I see is that the default look maven offers is a little
neater than what we normally get out of Anakia; it has folding menus and
stuff.

I just took a look at maven2 its site generation stuff. There's a lot of it,
and it has all this component-oriented pluggability and frameworkieness. Uses
something called Doxia,

  http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/doxia/trunk/

which kinda looks like a mini-cocoon specialised for handling xdoc-style
website generation. I dunno. There's a lot of code in there, and most of it
is Really New(tm). Maybe re-evaluating using maven2 something like 6 or 12
months from now is a good idea. Shrug. 95% of the reason for using maven (like,
having to build and maintain software) doesn't really apply to the incubator
website.

I just finished comparing Anakia with what I came up with:

  
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/infrastructure/site-tools/trunk/xdok/harmony-sample/README.txt

Conclusion: for us, its probably better to just use Anakia.

ciao!
