Hey Simon, Thanks a lot for this information, it is what i was looking for. We were testing each subproject individualy, by running mvn site:site for each one of them. As we were planning to update the sites for all of them (as far as i understood there was a general agreement that we want the new skin for the entire MyFaces family), i was wondering if there is something automated available. But i do see that it's not as straightforward as i expected, so i agree with you; it would be best if we just provide the information on how to apply the skin on a subproject, and leave the redeployment to someone that did it in the past, and knows how to do it. It would be great if you will do it for Orchestra.
Maybe you know the answer to the following question also: i quickly noticed, that if i look now at the myfaces website, i go to "Project Information", then the MyFaces logo that should point to http://myfaces.apache.org, now points to http://myfaces.apache.org/project-info.html, how did this happen? in the site.xml it is clearly stated "<href>http://myfaces.apache.org/ </href"...
