Fwd: Required links on all ASF PMC Pages
The Board has asked all ASF projects to list a couple of links (see
below for details) on their main site pages. Is there some way that
we can have these two links added to the default site Maven generates
for us? What's the best way to go about this? Should we write a mojo
for this and have our projects include it as a reporting dependency?

Sounds like a good idea. For the Velocity site, I added them to the site
navigation; I'd be very interested in a way to add this to the skin
directly.

Nice, the decorator pattern. I think you should just incorporate this
into the site plugin as well. That would be nice.

some time ago i've created a mojo for injecting google analytics scripts
into a maven generated site. I've extended it later to allow injection of
any snippet into the generated html files. Now using for ohloh icon/link at
http://mevenide.codehaus.org/m2-site for example.
Probably not the approved and recommended way to go around things, but works
fine for me.
check https://svn.codehaus.org/mevenide/trunk/mevenide2/site/pom.xml for
plugin configuration.

You should create a skin:
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-site-plugin/examples/
creatingskins.html
Note that we don't currently have an "ASF skin" - each project has
their own or uses the Maven defaults.
