I think Isabelle meant the upp front work of figuring out how to use
Maven.  The amount of new APIs/utilities/frameworks that we have to keep
up with is overwhelming, and sometimes it is better to stick with what
you already know.  On the other hand, if there is a project member that
already knows Maven and is willing to do the configuration/education
that is necessary, then this would be a nice option.  You and Luke seems
to be the ones with Maven experience.
