Admittedly it's quite nice but I'd put the reasons for now being the free and easy access to printable pages and search facilities. Eventually the integration of various stats and building RSS feeds should be a real bonus too. > > [2] Use the FakeForrest Anakia/Velocity template to generate the site until > we converted the xdocs xmls to the forrest dtd and the project.xml into a > book.xml. -0. Ant has ~170kb of xdocs, which doesn't seem a whole lot and I would have thought we could get a reasonable conversion done quickly enough (especially if a few of us carve up the work) that the benefits of a FakeForrest transition period would be pretty small. I would expect tweaks, tunings and corrections to follow but the initial conversion should be reletively painless - maybe you are suggesting some reorg too? this seems to be a separate phase that would be easier after the hassle of conversion is dealt with. Please shout me down though - I haven't looked at the forrest DTD in depth yet, just observed that it seems to include a superset of the features used by ant. > > [3] Probably stick to the FakeForrest approach until Forrest itself offers > bixed headers (referring to Nicola Ken Barozzi :)). Here I'm lost - what's a bixed header? I've googled and eyebrowsed but with no luck, and my eyes aren't spotting the distiction from the forrest page so I must be looking for the wrong thing: http://xml.apache.org/forrest/index.html. If this is a real stumbling block then +1 to a FakeForrest interim period but until then I'll stick to a bemused -0.
