ok.. I figured 'forrest' out

[Ian Holsman]

for people later on..
1. get the lastest SVN version of forrest, the current one won't work
2. check out (from CVS) incubator
3. make your mod's in:
        site/site.xml -- add your project under 'projects'
                (shouldn't have to do that again)
        site/projects/index.xml -- add the 1-liner of the project in
        site/projects/httpd-cli.cwiki -- (the meat)
4. in ./incubator run
        $ forrest -- generates the HTML pages
or
        $ forrest run -- which brings up a web-server on port 8888
                 to view the it
5. if your happy (or as close as happy as you can get)
        $ cd build/site
        $ cvs ci index.html index.pdf
        $ cd projects
        $ cvs ci  (as changing a name affects all the menu items on each page)
        for the gutsy.. just cd build and cvs ci.
6. go to www.apache.org:/www/incubator
7. cvs co
(I have have a new found respect for my work's internal publishing 
system...ugh)
