You're right, I hadn't thought of the fact that all projects may not be using maven. It wouldn't seem right for the commons charter to require projects to build with maven.

My primary complaint is the difficulty in keeping developer lists and task lists in sync between maven files and the STATUS.html file. One possibility would be a small maven plugin to generate STATUS.html files, but that may be overkill as opposed to just doing some small cut and pastes.

If anyone is going to contribute to a project, they need to grab the sources anyway, so they will be able to acess the STATUS.html just as easily as a maven generated site.

1. not all components are mavenized.

2. STATUS.html files are mandated by our charter so probably we'd need a vote to remove them completely. the main purpose of the STATUS file is to keep track of which committers are involved with that particular component.

html to maintain lists of developers and tasks become outdated?

It seems more desirable to keep the list of developers in the project.xml to be displayed on the site, and also to create a xdocs/tasks.xml (or something similar) to keep track of action items.

This way, everything you ever wanted to know about a project is in the Maven site documentation.

Is there any particular reason to continue the maintenence of STATUS.html files?
