I personally like when the source used to generate the site can be checked in the repository but that's mostly a matter of taste. This for example is generated with Forrest: http://ant.apache.org/ http://lucene.apache.org/ This is generated by a set of Ruby scripts from Textile files: http://buildr.apache.org/ And this is generated from Confluence using custom templates: http://geronimo.apache.org/ http://ode.apache.org/ FWIW, a Forrest site has already been contributed so that could be used to start with until a sexier option is implemented?
