This document is an attempt at providing a solid Table of Contents for the Maven 2 documentation. Currently the docs are sub-par and either answer specific questions without explaining the concepts, or explain the concepts too generically without allowing users to get things done. A good set of documentation must find a good middle ground and work with the user from start (newbie) to finish (Maven maven).
