I am trying to write some documentations right now. Lack of documentation has always been the worst enemy of Maven, people are a bit afraid of it I think.
I am mainly writing a tutorial because I don't like the sparse guide model right now. It isn't very user friendly. People are like "ok wich one should I read first?" or "ok I see but what is has to do with all the other sutff". I am trying to go a "trail-oriented" way. See http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVENUSER/The+Maven+2+tutorial It is still in early stages but I will try to work on it a lot in the coming week. Any comments and suggestions are welcome! After that it will be up to the Maven team to decide if they want to publish it.
