+* Permissions
+ 
+  The user can only browse those repositories where the user is an observer or a manager. If the user does not 
+  have permission to access any repository, a message saying "You have access to no repositories. Ask your 
+  system administrator for access" will be displayed.  
+
+* Repository Browse Layout
+
+  The current layout of the repositories in Repository Browse uses the Maven 2 layout, which is the groupId,
+  artifactId and version. When the version is clicked, the Artifact Info page (see the next section) will be
+  displayed. There is currently an issue with regard to Maven 1 artifacts, see {{{http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRM-585} http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRM-585}}.

+* Artifact Info
 
-  :STUB: This is a documentation stub.
+  The Artifact Info page is divided into 5 views:
+  
+  1. Info. Basic information about the artifact is displayed here. These are the groupId, artifactId, version and 
+     packaging. A dependency pom snippet is also available, which a user can just copy and paste in a pom file 
+     to declare the artifact as a dependency of the project.
+  
+  2. Dependencies. The dependencies of the artifact will be listed here. The user can easily navigate to a specific
+     dependency by clicking on the groupId, artifactId or version link. The scope of the dependency is also shown.
+  
+  3. Dependency Tree. The dependencies of the artifact are displayed in a tree-like view, which can also be 
+     navigated.
+  
+  4. Used By. Lists all the artifacts in the repository which use this artifact.
+  
+  5. Mailing Lists. The project mailing lists available in the artifact's pom are displayed here.
+  
+* Downloading Artifacts
 
+  Artifacts can be downloaded from the artifact info page. All files, except for the metadata.xml files, that are 
+  associated with the artifact are available in the download box. The size of the files in bytes are displayed 
+  at the right section of the download box.
