Well thanks for the note, I'm still around. The priority for a while has
been this book: http://tr.im/rnFW
The community has established Maven as the solid choice it might not have
been in 2006 by focusing on quality and keeping up the pace of releases.
I'm sensing that "we" (and when I say "we", I mean the community of users
and developers), have to fight less to achieve Maven adoption at a company
or on a project now that Maven is a solid and tested tool. I'm not
convinced that a majority of our audience is convinced about repository
management, and that's one of the reasons why I felt that we needed a
separate book on repository management. I also didn't want the Maven book
to become a 1000-page book (see the sendmail book).
Look for the repo book to get a little thicker over the next month, and then
expect the m2eclipse book (which was also once a chapter in the maven def
guide) to get some attention after that. We do need a Maven Cookbook, I
don't have a secret alpha, but there is a GitHub repo for the effort that
has been seeded with the Nexus book content.
