       Body:
Speaking of documentation, it would be nice to have a news page that gets updated when new plugin versions are released, now that plugins are maintained separately from the Maven core itself.

Most people I know don't bother checking every plugin's page for new versions (due to the overwhelming number of plugins) so they simply wait for a new Maven version.

Having a news page that announces new plugin versions would be a (neat and) simple solution that would allow people to update their maven installation functionality more frequently, and remove the burden from the maven core developers.

I'm sure this can be automated if all maven plugins extend a base maven-plugin.xml project file which would update that page.

What do you think?

Description:
- something like http://xstream.codehaus.org/versioning.html
- a key for the new xdoc symbols is needed (And must be optional). Maybe just above the logo?
- refer to Pete Kazmier's previous work and perhaps torque for good examples: tutorial, guides, howto, reference.
