Re: Merging with XWiki and WikiModel
I'm cross-posting this between Doxia and Maven dev lists, because this has both interests.

But that opens the door for something new! Some questions to clarify what you have in mind: - how do you plan to integrate reporting concretely to Maven 3? As a completely separate execution environment. So the plugin manager in 3.x will only deal with build plugins. Then a separate plugin manager can be created for Doxia based reports and those will map to the current reporting element. Then I would like to create another execution environment for a more data centric report model. the idea is interesting. Is there something somewhere on this? How can I help? The key plugin is maven-site-plugin: a new branch? Regards, Hervé

There are only two things left now: 1. Add a Clirr report to make sure we didn't break anything 2. Advertise a Doxia/Site Plugin combo SNAPSHOT version to the community to allow testing for a little while I hope to be able to finish that this week.

Cheers, Vincent degree of collaboration. I think you would also get a model that is more complete for things like blogs, wikis, and books. Any thoughts? I've CC'd Vincent too as I'm not sure he's on this list.
