[OT] I love the ASF spirit that some people not only care for specific
projects but rather for the whole foundation. Thx.

Hmm, ok. I thought in forrest we are doing this. Bummer. ...but I can
have an additional cron job that is doing an svn up for lenya.apache.org
from the staging server, or?

Yeah. :(

jeje, you are faster then me. I was up to suggest this on forrest-dev.
You may have a look at:
http://lenya.apache.org/community/website-update.html#Generating
+changes.html

The result looks like (beware request will take ages since the file is
about 2 MB!)
http://lenya.apache.org/changes.html

I really like this way of generating the status via svn but we need to
slim it down. 

...and yes, we should try to add this functionality to the projectInfo
plugin.

How do we get around the saxon8 requirements? How can we generate the
log.xml only for certain revision and not every time for the whole lot?
How can we split changes.html in smaller pieces?
