Docs should get autogenerated from the javadoc. Maven will do this for  
you (maven-javadoc-plugin, goal site:site).

I would argue that the demos are (will be) useful to newcomers. There  
is nothing like code to get you to understand how the bits fit  
together. Wiki pages just don't cut it for me. Plus, with maven and a  
decent set of test routines you can be certain that your demos are up- 
to-date going forward. But then I'm *not* volunteering to make sure  
that the demos actually work from the off so my opinion counts for  
nothing :o}

Later,
