Hi,

my idea was to move the site as another submodule, so every time a mvn
clean install is done, the site would keep updated b/c of SiteGeneratorTest
(there's a infra's JIRA on this, but I feel I'd better move that with
build@a.o). OTOH, I agree that linking directly to svn's changelog is way
better than having oudated info / manually repopulating the site

I'm having a sprained shoulder, so I'm somewhat limited when coding,
probably until next week, but let's do this: let's link to svn's changelog
right now so we display updated information. In the meantime, I'll make the
appropiate changes to automatically populate the site so we can have both a
nice and automatically up to date changelog page (the idea behind this was
to give contributions/contributors more visibility). Sounds reasonable?
