This is a good point. How about also also providing a generator that would get the last modified header of remote resources. The results of the two could be aggregated together.
However, this still is not totally robust, becayse some remote resources will always indicate that they have changed even when the content has not (for example Daisy tracks changes to meta-data that Forrest does not currently use).
Are you familiar with http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/userdocs/generators/linkstatus-generator.html , the documentation is skimpy, but it may be what we need to handle both static and dynamic cases.
No I'm not familiar. I wonder what the docs mean by "status". Will it provide the last modified header as suggested above?
I don't have the time to experiment with it now, but I (and I am sure other devs) would love to hear about your findings.
I think both the google and RSS formats are simple enough to provide. Although, I may need some assistance to know how to build in hooks from skinconf.xml to the sitemap format generation.
I'm not sure what you mean by that. But there are plenty of people here to answer your questions as they arise.
