Last time this came up, I don't think the Forrestbot was fully operational. For many websites (xml-site, forrest, fop, avalon), the update/commit process is now automated (still human-triggered though). API docs are (IMHO) outside Forrest's concern. I think they should be updated separately to the main site -- Javadocs are *big* and committing them all for trivial updates will quickly full up icarus disk space. --Jeff > > Diana >
