Subject: Make release versions of JavaDocs available?

I was just wondering if there would be interest in making JavaDocs for =
Cassandra available for each release that comes out.  I realize that =
it's not a lib that people should just use.  However, it might be nice =
to have for certain things, like the Hadoop hooks - =
ColumnFamilyRecordReader et al.  It might also help people get up to =
speed when they want to contribute to Cassandra as devs.

Maybe the general JavaDocs could be linked just from the How To =
Contribute area of the documentation.  Then for the hadoop stuff and =
things like that, the specific class JavaDocs could be linked directly =
from the pages explaining Hadoop functionality.

Anyway, any interest/feedback?

I'm not sure how this is done for other apache projects or if it's a =
pain to do for every release.  I could help out if needed.
