FWIW, I think this results in a very nice and clean site, which I personally prefer over the current site. As far as how this could become or inspire the new look of the Ant site, well, there doesn't seem to be much interest in changing something that does the job fine, and generates a good Ant site (even if your site seems a bit better to me).
I can thus only praise you for a job well done, which I hope will not go to waste.

I'd like to tell you, that I like the design by APACHE-XML-FORREST team very much and I'd like to see the Ant site in the same design. For I am not very familiar with XSLT, not willing to change our XML-Files and I have certain knowledge of Velocity/Anakia/VTL I've spend some time today to convert our vsl's to generate html-pages, that look like they've been Forrest-generated. I hope the Forrest team can forgive me ;-). You can take a look at first results on a private homepage, where I've loaded it up to: http://www.jgui.org/fakeforrest/index.html (beware of some broken links there ;)) If you want to test it with Velocity: I've appended a ZIP with containing the necessary files. It should work with nearly any Anakia xdocs on Apache and Jakarta, but I've just tested with our ant-xdocs. Some minor things have to be fixed, though! :) This approach has certain advantages and disadvantages to be discussed: + We do not have to change ANY of our website xml documents + We have the nice Forrest-design in no time - It's NOT Forrest and it's not as flexible (e.g. PDF-Creation) And some I can't think of ATM: It's 3:33 AM :) *yawn* I see this just as a first step in migrating to Forrest - what do you think?
