How the site is generated is going to be important. I'd like to keep to
the current arrangement of:
- simple text files (no preference for format) in svn
- magic
- html output

That way we could use the same process for the Tomcat docs.

You might want to look at what the infra team is doing with markdown.

Downloads
Changelogs / release notes
Docs
How to get help and how to do it 'properly'

Dunno.

Site
Tomcat 7 docs
Tomcat 6 docs
Tomcat 5 docs

How about the raw access logs? You should be able to read the following
dirs on people.a.o:
/x1/logarchive/eosnew/www/2010/09
/x1/logarchive/aurora/www/2010/09

You'll find one file per day for Sep 2010 for the US and EU hosts. Every
tlp is a vhost on the same server so you'll need to do some filtering :).
