Re: [DISCUSS] An inherited "Maven Projects" menu for on all our sites

[Dennis Lundberg <de...@apache.org>]

Thanks to everybody who came up with idea for improvement!

I'm going to start implementing this now. To start out in an agile way, 
I will put this into the Maven site. That way we can easily change 
things and just push out a new site.

When we have settled in on what we want I'll start moving it over to a 
parent.
