John Casey commented on MNG-384:
--------------------------------

I'm willing to take this one on, but I'm not sure how we're approaching 
dashboards and/or aggregation of report results. Does each report have the 
option to aggregate itself, or run as an aggregator itself? If so, would they 
be knocked out of the site-driven aggregation? Do we have a single dashboard 
plugin that we're developing, or is that a generic term?

Also, would we be performing a merge of site descriptors, as in nesting 
sub-project site.xml contents under a menu item in the parent? Does it make 
sense to attach the site.xml as an attached artifact and manage parent 
references using artifact resolution?

Sorry to throw out so many questions, but this is not a side of maven I've 
*ever* used much (not even in m1), so if I'm going to get this one fixed 
myself, I'll need some help.

> - I'd like the navigation to behave hierachically (sections of the parent 
> navigation marked as inherited remain on the child sites)
> - this means that when building from independant projects they'd need to be 
> able to locate the parent site descriptor. This could be tricky without a USD

> published/referenced externally somehow?
