Sortof.. It's a project template. A generalised build.xml file (based on Cocoon's) and a Cocoon-based document generation system. Nicely done too.. very modular. The included Cocoon is 3.6mb, and has not been cut down much. It would be kinda nice to "outsource" the build system development. Make build system improvements part of another project, not Avalon. Better SoC :) A possible course of action: 1. We take this Centipede project template, and add a module for building docs with Anakia or <style>. 2. Try using it to build Excalibur. If that works, propose that we adopt it here. 3. Then continue to develop Centipede's Cocoon-based doc module until it's lean and fast. 4. Once it's good enough, switch Excalibur from the Anakia module to Cocoon module. Sound reasonable? If so, I'll volunteer and start on 1. --Jeff > -- > Cheers, > > Pete > > *--------------------------------* > | Every rule has an exception, | > | except the rule of exceptions. | > *--------------------------------* -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
