Description

To make it easier for mavenized projects, especially open source projects, to make their artifacts available on Ibiblio and/or other public repositories, I would like to suggest that a maven plugin be written that uploads the artifacts to the public repository as part of the project's install phase. This would take out the middle man which is the current maven evangelism process and free up much of Carlos Sanchez's time

Of course, this process would be complicated by the need for authentication, and other security issues, but I think it is worth working through some of these issues as the benefit to the community would be tremendous. There would be no lag time between a fresh release of a project and the appearance of the resulting artifact(s) on Ibiblio.
