There are a few alternatives. If webDAV is the answer from infra, then we can definitely get that into the site plugin. It is on the todo list as Tim noted, but the list remains very long at this point :)
The lack of detecting changed documents in the current xdoc plugin is probably a limitation here too - it reuploads everything. The other ideas I think are possibilities: - committing the site to SVN, and automatically updating it on the live site. An automatic commit is probably quite easy to add to the site plugin as a "deployment" method. - run Maven on the new zones for the projects, and have the live site pull the content from there. - a decentralised mechanism that can take a doc method and source location and run the publish. David Crossley has done something like this for forrestbot on brutus (which will obviously need a new home too) and intended to incorporate anakia and Maven too I believe. I'd intended to wait until the dust settled and it was clearer what solutions were available. For now, scp'ing to minotaur is still viable. The site plugin now supports running a staging site as well so sites can be publicly reviewed before being pushed live - this is something I'd like to continue and improve whatever option is chosen to give a place to publish documentation samples, and to help prevent accidents where live sites get overwritten by bad settings :) If anyone is interested in helping out on the Maven side, please just ping the Maven Dev list - it'd certainly be welcomed.
