No problem, that was not the difficult part - I had more problems with the publishing process itself: 1) complete build of Cocoon including documentation 2) use forrest to generate 'real' documentation 3) then I used 'forrest run' and and XML editor to edit/create my docs (it took me very long until I found out *where* I can edit my docs) BTW: an XML editor is the *worst* thing to edit content at all ... 4) then I had to copy the changed docs *manually* back into the Cocoon docs to check them in 5) then I had to generate the 'site' and copy them *manually* into cocoon-site (... I forgot to copy some of the docs - thanks to Jörg who reminded me that a change in the menu structure has impact on many docs) 6) then I checked in cocoon-2.1 7) then I checked in cocoon-site 8) then I updated our website using the CVS client on cvs.apache.org As I had never done this before it took me a while to figure out how all those things work together. Sorry, that's no fun. If the features docs hadn't been so important for me because I think this was *the* big missing thing in our docs I would have given up after an hour. As I already said three times in my mails yesterday I'm really looking forward to using Doco - this will give the Cocoon documentation a great push forward!!! Cheers, Reinhard
