if the documentation is easily generated from a cvs checkout using tools any user will have available, not putting the generated files in cvs *might* be an option. if building the docco requires either specialised tools or knowledge, the docco should be under cms control. mho after doing this shite for twenty years.
I agree that putting generated stuff in CVS sucks big time. The point is that users and developers like having these on the site.
For example, I might need the docs but have only the jar ATM, or I want to explain a thing on the list with a link to the javadocs.
Anyway, a solution for Java projects seems simple: make the project run under Gump, and these generated files will be published daily.
But this gives us the latest docs, not the ones of the last release.
So IMHO we should push these docs to the site by hand and not use the site CVS for it.
