In preparation for the launch of Maven: A Developer's Notebook, Tim and I have created the Mavenbook.org web site. By using it you'll be able to track the progress of the book but more importantly it'll allow you to download the book's source code, get additional samples, read tips and tricks on using Maven, etc. All of this through a blog interface.

BTW, we're not web designers so we've used a skin found on OSWD. I really like this web site which has both free skins and premium ones.

Last, the icing on the cake, the web site has been done using XWiki. Yeah, you heard it right, there is a wiki under the hood, which allow us to easily edit any page online. Each news item is actually a wiki page to which we have associated an Article object. The home page has a simple macro that does a search for all pages with articles and matching some criteria. Cool, no?
