Bernd, I don't know much about Maven. I am reading up on it right now. So far from what I have read I agree with you that the site is probably last. There are some people on this list who are trying to work on a Maven script for MyFaces so we should probably check in with them and see where they are.
Forrest is kind of annoying. In the end I bet we end up having to redo most of the website anyways. I'm not talking about the autogenerated stuff (javadocs, etc.) Obviously maven takes care of those. But the component documentation, news, etc. will have to be ported over. There is a site-dev mailing list that covers all things infrastructure ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). Its not available in the archives @Martin Cooper: Is the site-dev list restricted to committers? Is it ok for me to repost a few key threads to this list so volunteers can get up to speed?
