No, not yet - that was the suggestion on where it would go. There's  
some work needed (for example, I don't think that page is even linked  
to off the nav) in addition to just documenting it.

As a jump start, what a podling would need to do is add a section to  
their maven pom like:

<project ...>
  <parent>
     <groupId>org.apache.incubator</groupId>
     <artifactId>podling-parent</artifact>
     <version>1</version>
  </parent>
  ... rest of podling's original pom ...
</project>

Their project would then inherit settings from this POM in the normal  
Maven way, the interesting ones being:
* the location of the download repositories for podlings (snapshot  
and incubator)
* the location of the upload repositories for the podlings (snapshot  
and incubator)
