Getting better, but I don't like the last sentence because it sounds like a document collection generated from the command line would be deployed with an automated robot, and I think you mean this the other way around (it has been a while since I was messing with forrest, but I assume the robot you have in mind is tomcat). How about this (still 62 words)?: Apache Forrest is a standards-based documentation framework based on Apache Cocoon. Forrest emphasizes separation of presentation and content through a plugin architecture for transforming and aggregating a variety of input sources into one or more output formats. This enables Forrest to create a unified document collection that can be generated from the command-line or hosted dynamically and deployed with an automated robot. Actually, I'm not sure that most potential users having a first look at forrest would know what you mean by "robot", and they might even find it off-putting. It's ok, but is there some other word that would be less mysterious and still serve the purpose? Anyway, I'll probably check out now. Good luck, and thanks to all of you for your work on forrest. -- Brett Presnell Department of Statistics University of Florida http://www.stat.ufl.edu/~presnell/ "We don't think that the popularity of an error makes it the truth." -- Richard Stallman () ascii ribbon campaign - against html mail /\ - against microsoft attachments
