I think the maven 2 release is mature enough in its core. The plugins need to catch-up. Again overall great job Maven team!
Also is there a road map to what are the priorities the maven team is addressing and general project progress.

The builds are more stable though and the issues mostly exhibited when you start doing things people haven't done before (new plugins, ...). As Brett said it, you might need to use SNAPSHOTS versions of some plugins. Second writing a m2 plugin takes longer than writing an ant plugin. Be sure to grasp the various concepts (lifecycle, repositories ...). Get your dev infrastructure ready early. If you are not too time constrained, go for it. The earlier you start, the better you will be to report potential issues and get them fixed before the next stable release. Make sure you try to tackle the unsupported bits early.
