I've updated the branch here: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/site/branches/release-presentation What would be required to add a new release is illustrated here: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/site/branches/release-presentation/README.txt I've staged a sample site here: http://people.apache.org/~brett/staged-maven-site/ Alpha 3 is on the download page only, and release notes are drafted: http://people.apache.org/~brett/staged-maven-site/docs/3.0-alpha-3/release-notes.html The aggregated release notes are here: http://people.apache.org/~brett/staged-maven-site/release-notes-all.html Cheers, Brett --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
