I had it down to 4 hours; but that was only because we were making 
releases every month; when you leave
it alone for a while all the madness starts to creep back in. Personally 
I am enjoying not bothering people
about maven versions every month (which is where most of the problems 
were); but I do feel bad leaving the
user community without any useful milestones of 2.5.x.

Last week a version of maven that was predictable was mentioned; perhaps 
we could look into that
as an alternative (while it would not migrate away from maven it would 
get us the benifits).

Andrea thank you for making 2.4.0;
- the build hiccups - was there anything interesting?
- I know you tried to sort out the "unsupported" directory; thanks for 
at least looking at that
- confluence has been really bad lately - perhaps we should migrate to 
TOPP or Refractions hardware now that both are running a good version of 
the system. I know confluence has not been Paul Ramsey's best friend in 
the past; but the more recent version we have installed seems to be 
doing very well (and a lot better than codehaus).

Cheers,
Jody
