Thanks for the replies Wendy and Brad!

I am going to have to take a good look at the Wiki and find some
places I can improve, based on my usage and experience with Maven2. I
want to ask other users to do the same, so we can improve the overall
level of documentation in Maven. Here's the link: 
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVENUSER/Home

Unfortunate but true. I am guilty of it myself more often than not. ;-)

Which is well and good for the "leadership" of a project to force down
"from above" on all developers in the project. They can refuse to
"accept" contributions and code until documentation is at a certain
level of completeness. But its harder for users to "force up" these
same "requirements" on the development team.
