+The Maven team is pleased to announce the Dashboard plugin 1.0 release!
+
+http://maven.apache.org/reference/plugins/dashboard
+
+This plugin generates a dashboard HTML report containing information 
+gathered from other Maven reports (Checkstyle, Clover, JUnit, Simian, 
+etc). The dashboard aggregate this information for all subprojects, 
+presenting them in a single tabular format.
+
+Features:
+
+o Pluggable architecture. It allows to add custom aggregators for any
+  kind of report, be them Maven reports or anything else (like 
+  calling an SCM system, calling JIRA, etc). An aggregator is actually 
+  a Jelly script so that you have the full power of Jelly at your hand.
+o Allows tight integration in one's own custom reactor and prevents
+  running reports several times.
+o Several aggregators are provided out-of-the-box:
+  o csall: reports Checkstyle warnings/errors
+  o cswarning: reports Checkstyle warnings
+  o cserror: reports Checkstyle errors
+  o clovertpc: reports Clover total test coverage percentage 
+  o cloverloc: reports lines of code as computed by Clover
+  o cloverncloc: reports lines of non-comment code as computed by Clover
+
+Note that this plugin has been tested with Maven 1.0 rc2 from CVS HEAD. 
+Using it with another version of Maven is at your own risks! :-)
+
+An example of the Dashboard plugin in action is available here:
+http://maven.apache.org/reference/plugins/optional/dashboard-report.html
+
+You can download the Dashboard plugin here:
+http://www.ibiblio.org/maven/maven/plugins/maven-dashboard-plugin-1.0.jar
+
+Have fun!
