Just give me some specifics based on the existing site, and I'll have a go.
great :)
the commons is now using common elements in the navigation bar. these are typically absolute urls pointing to useful ASF, jakarta and jakarta-commons resources. this helps to tie together the whole site.
the method we use (including them as an external entity) sucks but requires no special setup or software (unlike xinclude).
the problem is that these common elements take up a huge amount of visual real estate (for example see http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/digester/) and separate the component specific information. i played around a little last night try to them collapsable (like the maven generate reports and info menus are) with something like this http://www.apache.org/~rdonkin/navigation.jpg in mind.
the problem is that the collapsable elements don't work since there's no pages for them to refer to. the pages should contain the same content as the main index but have the particular menu item expanded.
i'll probably be hanging out on the maven irc (when i'm online) so if i'm around that'd be a quick way to get some better explaination.
