Definitely: what if we "grab"
http://openjpa.apache.org/get-involved.html from OpenJPA? It seems very
nice to me.

Daisy is not used anymore for managing the website(s),  but some
references are still around: thanks for reporting, I am going to remove
such elements.

We currently manage the website(s) via the maven site plugin (site
sources are at [1] [2]): the major drawback is that you need to be
committer to contribute documentation; the advantage is that you can
always open an issue on JIRA [3] [4] and attach a patch :-)

Anyway, I've opened [5] for fixing the stuff reported in this e-mail.

Regards.
