Sounds good to me (assuming you mean all *released* versions
available). On download pages, we could have binaries, sources and
javadocs, with options for javadocs being download or view online (a
bit like Sun's download pages). We might not need to mirror right away
- we could wait to see how much this gets used.

I'm not familiar with ashkelon or multidoc. What would they bring to the party?
