Hello Hervé,

I would suggest that "mojo" is quite unknown for most developers (who are
non-maven-plugin developers) out there.
Few would even contemplate calling the plugins by their full - or even
abbreviated - name.
Whenever I hear people talking about a plugin, they simply say "the aspectj
plugin" or equivalent.
Not "the aspectj-maven-plugin" - and definitely not "Mojo's
aspectj-maven-plugin".

Hence, I don't think that the Mojo "brand" is well-known at all (actually,
it is more confusing since it can be mixed up with the name of the Mojo
interface and AbstractMojo implementation).
I don't even believe that the "Codehaus" brand is well-known to the
genereal development community.
If anything, the names of the plugins themselves *could* be known.

So ... if we are going to refactor the Codehaus codebase and organisation,
let's do it to best match the future demands.

I would also suggest being *very* clear about presenting the reason that
the Codehaus/Mojo project develops Maven plugins instead of the projects
themselves.
For example - it would seem apparent that the AspectJ project should
develop an aspectj-maven-plugin.
However, that plugin is developed by Codehaus, and I believe that we should
be a bit clearer in documenting why.

Fair?
