Hi Andrew,

I have been reading up on the Maven site generator and it's actually
really cool! I like this apt format (almost plain text).

The only things I kinda missed (but not really) were:
- an out-of-the box search function for the documentation
- an option to convert apt files to pdf directly.
(The Doxia convertor can't seem to do it
http://maven.apache.org/doxia/doxia-tools/doxia-converter/index.html)

For GWT-OL I think we could do without these: If the docs are single
page sites then the browser search function suffices (all the better!)
and if we need something like pdf we can do it through an intermediary
format.

By also generating the site with Maven we really use Maven to the
fullest and we wouldn't need an extra dependency on sth like Sphinx,
which requires installing Python, Python's setup tools etc for Windows
users.

The new Maven layout makes it really easy to get started, so I can say
I am really happy with all your work.

Also, I now have Eclipse Helios running with HgEclipse and m2eclipse,
which makes for an excellent dev environment. Just pushed a minor
bugfix for MapImpl :)...

I will start moving the documentation from Trac to the Maven site,
which should be able to replace the goofy site we have now.

Greetings,
Edwin
