I just looked over the Solstice and they are not entirely trivial.
Certainly much more complex than what we currently do at Code
Recommenders [2]. Still, if there is interest in hosting, say
org.eclipse.cbi.resources:solstice-repository-resources:0.1-SNAPSHOT, I
would be happy to push an initial change to Gerrit. I only know about
the maven-remote-resources-plugin & Velocity parts; someone would need
to help me with Solstice and PHP know how.

Best wishes,

Andreas
