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 J�rg 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
