I very much like the new look.

No problem regarding the appearance of my name. My name is already a
test
case for the existing anakia-based system for building the jakarta web
site. I
guess it is better to be a test case rather than a basket case.

You are surely aware that the generated docs are incomplete but
obviously that could be corrected.

In principle, I am favorable to move the  log4j site to Maven.  As I 
explained in
our previous exchange, given the upcoming log4j 1.2 release in the next
few 
weeks
I do not  have time to spare on non critical items. However, perhaps
some 
other
log4j developer might rise to the challenge.  Whoever that person is, he
(as far
as I know we do not have female developers)  would be lucky to work with
you.

I can also continue to work on the integration and once it's further
along it may be more appealing for someone to help. I know that everyone
is busy but I guarantee that Maven will eventually save you valuable
time. I will plug away :-)
