Now realize that I am *NOT* proposing Anakia. What I am proposing is that the ability to view a site as it is being produced is a very valuable thing to have, and an important consideration both for a machine which is a shared resource and for any hope of there ever being personal usage of

I'll certainly guilty of being away for a while, but gump.document.forrest is not a small thing, and to my eyes, not entirely obvious. It is really just a lot of repetative simple code, building simple xdoc pieces. It it's pretty, but it isn't that bad. We have gump.document.text, and we

I wonder if we ought consider replacing Forrest with a pure Python HTML producer. As above, I can't prove that forrest is the problem, but a pure Python solution might just halve the unknowns. I've been using Python to generate HTML from XML via XSL for a few weeks now using 4suite. I'm fairly
