At the moment, they're two different products, so having to sift through the info for one to get to the other is strange.  And frustrating.  For example, I looked high and low to find the Weld API documentation (spec and impl classes) and couldn't find it, so I ended up checking out the code and building the docs locally.  That shouldn't be required, I think.

(To be fair, as a JSF guy, I guess I don't have much room to talk, do I? ;)
