We could really do with a logo!

Me neither but those are the current rules. Its meant to make it easier  
to restore the website for all projects if there's a hardware failure.

Absolutely! Please do this nightly, then we can start tidying up the  
website

FWIW the CVS import statement that should work was posted on the  
general@incuabtor recently by Leo Simmons...


maven site
cd target/docs
cvs -z3 -d $my_id@cvs.apache.org:/home/cvs \
  import -m 'Maven-generated site' incubator-site/build/site/$proj \
  maven_site Maven_Generated_$proj_Website_$(date +%Y%m%d)

replace '$proj' with the project name, replace $my_id with your
apache login id, replace $(date +%Y%m%d) with the current date
if you want. See

http://cvsbook.red-bean.com/cvsbook.html#Tracking_Third- 
Party_Sources__Vendor_Branches_

for more info. Note: the problem with using import in this way is that
its not easily combined with the use of commit (the above url explains
why).
