The web-sites still contain important information that is not readily available elsewhere, some of which is also version dependent.

There are some that say that one should do another release with the updated information, but given that checking releases is time-consuming I don't think that's appropriate. > Decoupling artifact releasing and site releasing could help Agreed, but there are other ways to do this, for example using a branch for the documentation and releasing from that. > > Christian > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
