Hi all! I saw the "Tapestry" discussion, and this remindet me, that I wanted to "carry" FakeForrest to Jakarta!
So what is it? Simple: It's a set of 2 Velocity/Anakia template-files and some images. The Velocity templates are build upon the Jakarta-ones and follow the Jakarta-Anakia-DTD! What does it? It renders Anakia-build websites with the (current - with some small modifications - see below) Forrest skin. Where can I find it? We currently use this to build the http://ant.apache.org website so you can preview the result there and the sources are in the Ant-cvs http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs/jakarta-ant/xdocs/stylesheets/. Why should we use it? IMHO it is the FASTEST way to provide a nice, functional and consistent look of the entire xxx.apache.org website! Are there any limitations? Yes: Currently there are no multiple tabs for menues on the left side, but this can easyly be solved by allowing multiple menu-sections in the proect.xml Additionally: We (Conor ;)) recently fixed some incompatibilities with the HTML 4.01 standard so it now generates validatable HTML 4.01 code! It's proved, it works, it's nice ;). Remark: I do not see Fake-Forrest as the final solution, but its a nice and fast way in moving to a nice new, consisten etc. look of the Apache website, as I said before! Thoughts?
