ah... hindsight.  yeah, it could've, at least until the new one was
totally ready.  we didn't expect so many problems, and even now i feel
like getting things sorted with Maven2 is the path of least resistance
and will be more useful in the long run.  again, YMMV.

heh.  sorry, but it'd be really hard not to come back with a "thanks,
Captain Obvious" to something like that.  ;-)  seriously, we all know
it's not good, and Henning's not the only working on changing that
status.  help and/or patience are appreciated.

I'm sure it's going to be great.  But it wasn't really much  
'hindsight' on my part to suggest using the existing site.  I mean,  
when Harmony went TLP, I switched a few URLs and <poof> a site for  
Harmony the TLP...
