I would like to remove these two lists into two separate pages which has
a simple list of the plugins with a small description of the plugin.

For sandboxed plugins that's IMO fine, can be a pita for folks to deploy
snapshots after each commit. Might be easier now with WebDAV, or
possibly Continuum should do it.

Isn't the date enough?

I would like one site per version and the one in the root directory to
be the one in trunk with pointers to all the released versions.

The proposal is tracked on http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MOJO/Mojo+web+site+redux
The site was reorganized some time ago. I guess this is mostly obsolete.
