The Board has asked all ASF projects to list a couple of links (see below for details) on their main site pages. Is there some way that we can have these two links added to the default site Maven generates for us? What's the best way to go about this? Should we write a mojo for this and have our projects include it as a reporting dependency?

For the Velocity site, I added them to the site navigation; I'd be very interested in a way to add this to the skin directly. http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/velocity/site/site/src/site/site.xml?r1=565405&r2=585627 Best regards Henning James Carman schrieb: > Since a lot of us (at least for java-based projects) use Maven to > generate our sites, shouldn't this be a part of the Apache "skin" for > maven-generated sites?
