It will come as no surprise that I think you should encourage more user-contributed documentation. (Aside from submitting patches for the apt source-- that's too high a barrier if you just want to share a plugin configuration example that works for you.)
Agreed. I'd like to see if we can find effective ways to bring people deeper into the Maven community. IMO, we do need to start focusing more on making the answers to common questions available in a persistent format. Not just a FAQ, but good documentation, shared experiences, and examples...all of which should stick around longer than the time taken to replace the 100-item queue on gmail. :-)
The "real world" examples you want for each plugin might come from the early adopters who are using snapshots... but we need a visible place to store these, or no one knows they exist. As I mentioned in another thread, I'd really like to see a link to a MAVENUSER wiki page for each plugin.
I think this is a pretty good idea. Sort of linking in an interactive space to each part of static reference... Cheers, John
