Short answer: Automating the production of a community's web site. Example: yesterday, Jon added one line to jakarta-log4j.xml and now there is a link to the log4j javadocs on http://nagoya.apache.org/~rubys/gump/javadoc.html (the link doesn't work, but that's the subject of another e-mail). In his commit message, he indicated that it would be nice if this url was more visible than on the gump web site. I'd like to take that a step further: wouldn't it be nice if adding that one line not only got the javadocs published, but also got the link added to the appropriate place(s) in the the log4j section of the web site? Right now, all of the mailing list information is centralized. As is all of the cvs repository information. Every description of a subproject is uniquely entered by hand. Imagine if that cross-reference information that gump has could result in navigation links? How about download stats? Number of subscribers to mailing lists? This will cause some paradigms to break. It doesn't make sense to check in a new page into cvs and update daedalus every time someone subscribes.
