release schedule and live site update

[Diana Shannon]

I had my fingers crossed that 2.0.4 might be released by today. However I understand the reasons for the delay.

Starting today, I am traveling away from my office for the next seven to ten days and predict that I will have little, if any, time/bandwidth to update the live site. Therefore, I did the best I could yesterday and this morning, syncing common docs between branches, updating the live site cvs (both xdocs and javadocs), and updating the web site. Of course this isn't a **complete** release update for docs, but it's 99% of the effort involved. Clearly files like todo.html, changes.html, etc. will need to be updated once the release is official, but **any** committer can accomplish this in a spare minutes. For a refresher on how to do it:
- Check out a version of the live site cvs (cvs.apache.org:/home/cvs/xml-site/targets/cocoon).
- Add/commit your html files (from any release build). (Consider checking links with a third-party tool if you have concerns about the html files you are merging.)
- Ask Carsten, Vadim, (or Steven?) to pull the updates to xml.apache.org.
- Note: there are a few extra files in the live site cvs that are not in the release builds. These are redirects. Don't delete them.

Thanks, and congrats to everyone on the release.

P.S. If anyone finds the above process primitive, well, **please** join the effort to prototype a Forrest transition for Cocoon docs.
