Duplicate mailing list pages
We have a general mailing list page [1], but we also generate
individual pages for each project [2].
The general page is very thorough, but does not contain a summary of
the lists and archives etc.
The individual pages have a neat summary, but don't include the
necessary information regarding posting etiquette etc.
So I think it would be helpful to users if we tidy this up.
It's now possible to customise Maven info reports, including the
mailing list page [3], so it is now possible to add more information
to the individual reports; for example I created a sample mail-list
page at:
http://people.apache.org/~sebb/hc/mail-lists.html
Unfortunately, it seems to be quite complicated to use the same
properties file for all modules, so this would involve adding the same
file to each project. [Tedious initially, and tedious to maintain, but
hopefully that would not be a frequent occurrence once the
wording/layout is agreed initially.]
Alternatively, we can just drop the auto-generated mail pages, which
all have the same body content anyway (I think). If we do that, we
should probably add a table like the one from the generated page [2]
to the end of [1]
Thoughts?
[1] http://hc.apache.org/mail.html
[2] http://hc.apache.org/mail-lists.html
[3] http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-project-info-reports-plugin/examples/custom-report.html

It was just a thought. Feel free to implement whatever solution you deem
most appropriate and you have time for. I will not be of much help until
I am done with the next releases of HttpCore, HttpAsyncClient and
HttpClient.

Not all my own work - I just adapted the example.

Wouldn't these get lost when redeploying the site?
And if we drop the report from sub-modules then the link will
disappear from the navigation.
We already have a master file at top-level which is in all the menus.

How about just manually creating symlinks in all modules to one master
file residing at the project top level?
