... back to the surface. I have summarised that previous discussion from [EMAIL PROTECTED] and built two proposal documents. These are at the Forrest website. Draft: Proposal for ASF-wide documentation staging and publishing http://forrest.apache.org/proposal-asf-publish.html This draws together various past discussions to address the diverse issues with documentation publishing at apache.org Draft: Proposal for ASF-wide Forrestbot http://forrest.apache.org/proposal-asf-forrestbot.html This shows the Forrestbot role. How Forrest can help the Cocoon publishing situation should be evident from those proposals. I am going to continue the previous discussions on the Infrastructure mailing list. Any Apache committers can join in to help. http://www.apache.org/foundation/mailinglists.html#foundation-infrastructure -- David Crossley
