Hi Doug, I'm not really familiar with the Java ecosystem - most of my experience has involved a couple Apache projects, which had decent wikis next to really terrible raw API documentation (with links from the wikis into the raw API documentation as if it were a useful thing). But I assume my experience isn't typical - I'm not a Java dev. Do you have any links to examples that we should imitate? Or a summary of how it works "over there"?
