I've happily been using the snapshots from Hudson for sometime now so thanks for that. As a continuation on that subject, I'm wondering if there are plans to publish the Maven site and accompanied javadocs for snapshot builds or only for releases, or has it been considered at all? For reference, there are a few ways to go about it: Tapestry publishes the latest point releases and archives major releases permanently; for one project at work we publish every single release to a different url but don't publish snapshot docs; and of course there's always the option of doing nothing. It all comes down to release frequency and pace of development - if you push out a release every month or so, only devs are interested in snapshots and documentation won't lag too far behind, but if you have longer than six months intervals between releases with a hectic pace of development, users will quickly start asking for dev snapshots (which they have for Shiro - I'm a prime example) and any longer, people will start asking for the interim docs as well.
Obviously Shiro's still going through the incubator process so releasing may not make sense at all and any kind of release would anyways be considered as a "pre-release" anyway. In the meantime, it might be a good idea to practice the site publish process (and strategy - what should be available on the site?). Is somebody already working on this and what is/would be the proper destination for the site docs? Kalle
