Hi Doug,

I'm not really familiar with the Java ecosystem - most of my
experience has involved a couple Apache projects, which had decent
wikis next to really terrible raw API documentation (with links from
the wikis into the raw API documentation as if it were a useful
thing).

But I assume my experience isn't typical - I'm not a Java dev.

Do you have any links to examples that we should imitate? Or a summary
of how it works "over there"?

Thanks,
Antoine
