I have a feeling that whatever is the same will be a lot of piecemeal here
and there, excluding of course, web-app documentation.  So far yourself,
Pier, and Henri are the only three TC developers to post their position on
that (re: inter-version relevancy).  Personally, I don't think there should
be a separate project, but I think I've already said that a few times =)

Someone will have to setup something that exposes the latest generated
documentation on the Jakarta www site.  It's being done already for Struts,
so I guess that won't be a big problem.

"developer" as in "web" or "Tomcat"?  I'm not sure why separating the doc
