Chris, I believe migrating to git is more essential when it comes to getting people to contribute more easily to the project but I also understand your reservations towards it and understand that you see it as a big step especially as the project owner you need to be confident about the vcs you're using. Yes, I'm still up to helping out with the gradle migration of course. I will have a go at it during the weekend. I have some questions though. What do we exactly need to port? It's of course building and running the tests, deploying to Codehaus maven repo (we're doing it in geb, so I will probably have a look at how it's done there) and generating (also uploading?) the site. Is there anything else? I'm not a maven specialist so can you please list all of the commands you're using in your workflow to achieve the aforementioned tasks? What version of maven/other setup I need to run all of the tasks? I still haven't received any response from Rene about the site plugin but I will try to use it anyway and get it to a working state if necessary.
