No norm, just several different options. I personally like when the source
used to generate the site can be checked in the repository but that's mostly
a matter of taste. This for example is generated with Forrest:

http://ant.apache.org/
http://lucene.apache.org/

This is generated by a set of Ruby scripts from Textile files:

http://buildr.apache.org/

And this is generated from Confluence using custom templates:

http://geronimo.apache.org/
http://ode.apache.org/

FWIW, a Forrest site has already been contributed so that could be used to
start with until a sexier option is implemented?
