Because I want to move to more advanced documentation generation features that cocoon provides. In particular generating single pdfs for guides but multiple html pages and being able to "suck" docs from other codebases into the phoenix docs (ie suck loader docs in as loader is used by phoenix etc). Integrate with javadocs and generate specific documentation from java/config source files. Also have a single "uber" pdf guide that encompases all phoenix docs. I also eventually want to move to "database" generated website. By "database" I mean sucking in data from multiple sources such as /etc/passwd, /etc/groups, /home/cvs etc and then processing it with something like http://xineo.sourceforge.net/xil/ Essentially I wanted to be able to do multi-format/channel publishing. While possible with anakia is no where as easy as it is in cocoon. > Why did you create a framework Forrest branch? Because I was sick of hearing users complain. I get on average 6-7 complaints a month about the size of our CVS download or the size of our distributions or whatever. About 90% of that size is due to Cocoon jars and excess unused cruft in documentation tree (like 3 MB of DTDs). Moving to using forrest means we get to remove a bunch of jars from CVS which means less complaints hopefully. (Besides our site was not actually building prior to my starting due to malformed docbook docs). > >>About the skin, what are your comments? > > > > The skin we have seems to work. > > The skin we have is incompatible with Forrest; or are you talking about > the new avalon-tigris one? I don't know if others have seen it yet. The avalon-tigris one is meant to be the same as our current site which is why I originally created it. -- Cheers, Peter Donald --------------------------------------------------- "Wise men don't need advice.
