Hi!
I have written documentation to make it easier for myself and my colleagues to use Maven on complex projects. The documentation is problem-centric and organized as a FAQ. I have tried really hard to avoid duplicating the official docs, but I have not checked it against for example the wiki.

Are you interested in these docs? If yes, where do you want me to contribute it?

(It is currently in Confluence-format, so putting it in the wiki is the easiest approach.)
