Actually I wonder whether it is possible to extend the daisy plugin to a
generic external repository connector plugin. I mean you are "just"
connecting to some uri and retrieve the content from there. Or do I miss
something?
No, you are right on the mark. I have tried to design the Daisy plugin
in as generic a way as possible. We can't make a single plugin for both
CMS', there are some fundamental differences, however, I hope to extract
the common functionality into a "base" plugin that other CMS plugins can
extend (that's why I am interested in the new wiring features in Cocoon).
I'm also with David that we need to pick our users carefully before the
1.0, anyone only willing to complain and not willing to ask simple
questions is not a useful resource for us right now.
Actually the thing that most worries me that all the conversations and
complaints not have been directed to this list but to others. We never
had a chance to help or response.
:-((
Read the archives, David has been fighting against this for a long time.
I live a 13 hour flght from David, yet I am sure I have heard him sigh
in desparation at least half a dozen times in the last week.
We need to make it as simple as possible for power users to stay up to
date (see other threads). Once we have that in place we can start going
out there looking for those users, I would propose putting together a
demo of a (single site) site-build project and taking it to site-dev as
a prototype (we have much to do before we do that though - this is a
medium term vision).
Actually I see this in connection with lenya. We should try to leverage
CMS features to lenya and "just" providing an awesome renderer.
Forrest as site-build tool would be "just" a crawling renderer capable
of connecting to multiple content repositories. The dispatcher is the
renderer, the cli.xconf the crawling configuration.

If we can get Lenya writing to SVN, host it in a zone, and have our
forrestbot publish from there I think we will finally have doco. The ASF
have harware to support this now. The publishing end is there (we just
need a live prototype so people can *see* it - I've done this on a
private server - just need to get it working n our zone).
The authoring end is there with Daisy, but I doubt that it will never
write to an SVN back-end and so cannot provide offline authoring which
is important.
Like I said, we are so close it hurts.
