Done. I left the latest release of Archiva, Continuum, and Maven 1.0,
1.1 and 2.0, plus the embedder and ant tasks, here:

  http://www.apache.org/dist/maven/binaries/

I'd like to see us provide source distributions for releases.  I have
a vote pending for the matching Archiva 0.9-alpha-2 source distro, but
the only other one is for Maven 2.0.5:

   http://www.apache.org/dist/maven/source/

Whee.... board hat time. We have to release source; binaries are an
aid to users, source is what we do as a foundation.


I think the official Maven repository here should suffice and that the official drop site should change for us. The sources in these locations are for the most part effectively useless to all end consumers. The release plugin makes sure sources and javadocs are present. Everyone uses the repository. Can't we mesh this or adapt to the way Maven does this?
