Hi Martin,
Let me know what info you need from me next.
Once the source files I sent are in svn, then I'll be
able to patch
properly against that.
It looks quite good, thanks! I published it in my home directory
to get some feedback from others:
http://people.apache.org/~sebor/stdcxx/forrest-site/
As initial information for others, the look of this site is the
standard issue 'forrest pelt theme' and if so wish, can be changed
to have more unique feel to it. This can wait I think until the
site is live and populated with docs.
Btw., it looks like a couple of typos snuck into index.xml and
bugs.xml. I corrected them to get forrest to generate the static
site (otherwise it fails)...
Damn, sorry, I tested using 'forrest run' which ensures the
site is mostly
fine and working - but does not scrutinise the xdocs for
validity against
the DTD. Only when a 'forrest site' or 'forrest
validate-xdocs' is run do
the files get checked against the DTD.
... but I still get the error below at the
end. It looks like a link is bad or something.

There appears to be a problem with your site build.
Easy one and my bad again. Automatically a favicon.ico is
associated with
the site and is in fact copied there when doing a 'forrest
seed-sample'.
As you found out though this produces many un-needed sample
files. So I
created the initial layout with a 'forrest seed-basic' which gives you
a site structure but no files and in this case no favicon either.
So the cure is to stick a favicon.ico directly into the xdocs folder.
The site will then build successfully.
The two typos are: a missing underscore in the section id
mailing_list in index.xml and a stray # in bugs.xml. Forrest
gives rather cryptic errors for them.
The error messages were mainly to do with why they did not
conform with the
DTD - i.e the # symbol is not allowed directly beneath <ol>
and points out
that only <li> can go inside.
Most of the time, we will use Forrests v2.0 DTD -
http://forrest.apache.org/dtdx/document-v20.dtdx.html
(it is working towards being more xhtml2 compliant)
So sounds like the next step is to commit the prototype into svn
and set up a cron job to get it periodically published into some
sandbox (such as my home directory) so we can work on the tables
etc. Is that how you'd like to proceed?
Yep, fine by me, at least I'll be able to be useful with patches then.
Once your happy with stability, completeness and the
forrestbot publishing
is working well, then it can be moved when your happy.
I'm also curious if you have a suggestion for our documentation.
Would it make sense to try to convert it as well or might some
other solution be more appropriate?
I have referred this to the Forrest dev list. It should not
be a problem
in principle, convert the .html files into xdoc xml and then
back into .html
integrated into the rest of the generated site. Hopefully the initial
conversion to xdoc can be automated. Once in xdoc xml format
then they can
be placed appropriately, added to the site.xml and tabs.xml
files and from
then on be part of the site proper.
I notice Jira replies are set to issues@, is there a Jira
ticket filed
to
change this to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Not yet. I was hoping to get to it this week but lately time has
a habit of getting away from me... You don't happen to know where
to change this, do you?
I don't have the access to do it, I've asked on #infra and
will let you know
if someone does it. Otherwise you need to send a mail to
apmail@ and file a
Jira Issue on infra for it to be done .

Original Estimate: 16h
Remaining Estimate: 16h
The current web site is a bunch of static HTML pages
with a lot of
difficult-to-maintain formatting cruft copied from
pages of another
incubator project. We should look into generating the site from
easier-to-maintain "sources" using a tool like Apache
Forrest or some
such.
