I'm not sure if we're talking about the same reports section. IMO, the

I can't find where this is linked from (or how it got there in the first
place).
If
we want to have a list of contributors
or information about the mailing lists, then maybe we should:
1. clean up those reports, and pare down the ones (like JXR) that have no
content on the main page...then, maybe make them more visible in the
navigation, rather than burying them two clicks down. Also, pages like
http://maven.apache.org/integration.html seem a little sparse somehow...I'm
not sure if we have enough to say about Maven's CI testbed to warrant a
whole page. IMO, it could be easier for new users to digest this
information...
Well, this is exactly what I was saying about these standard pages - we
should redo them as we think they should be and then have the report
plugins generate them in this style (but also make them easier to
customise). I don't think you get empty pages like the JXR one any more.
2. (my preference) Digest the information contained under the Project
Documentation nav header into a couple of easy-to-read pages that have a
good balance of information vs. white space, and display these pages more
prominently in the navigation.
That's possibly a good solution to the same thing above, yep.
Also, I want to point out that these reports don't address all of Maven;
they only address the site project, IIUC. This is misleading, particularly
if we're publishing it on the site's main page.
Yep, needs to be fixed. I thought all the values were re-arranged so
that this was the case?
Cheers,
Brett
