Scalaz Introductory Talks

Nick Partridge (@nkpart) recently gave a series of talks to the Brisbane Functional Programming Group (BFG) and the Melbourne Scala Users Group. These talks introduce Scalaz (scahla-zed) by way of deriving its foundation from common problems found in everyday programming. They also highlight the implicit parameter as typeclass pattern used heavily in Scalaz.

The talks are available here: Scala Implicits (BFG, 16/03/2010), Deriving Scalaz (Melb. Scala, 22/03/2010).

Full source code is available here: http://github.com/nkpart/deriving-scalaz/

I realize this is the wrong place for such a comment but I'm wondering if you plan to support Maven 3 when it comes out. Specifically, I'm using Maven3alpha7 and it can't seem to find your plugin because instead of loading http://scala-tools.org/repo-releases/org/scala-tools/maven-scala-plugin/maven-metadata.xml it's looking at http://scala-tools.org/repo-releases/org/apache/maven/plugins/maven-metadata.xml and http://scala-tools.org/repo-releases/org/codehaus/mojo/maven-metadata.xml which are 404'd. How can I tell maven3 to look in the right place for your plugin?
