I need a bit more time. I'm trying to document what I do to save the time of any interested Cocoon committer who wants to replicate it (so that they can understand the implications of the transition (via existing cvs or separate module). Perhaps it will make a nice How-
To/Case Study for Forrest (expanding on what Jeff wrote under "Seeding an Existing Project" (http://xml.apache.org/forrest/your-
project.html#N1008F).
I also plan to meet Stefano in Boston today, weather permitting, so I'm afraid this work, almost finished, will need to wait until Monday.
Do you mean a trial run of Forrest itself? You will be pleased.
No, not only...
Or do you mean a trial run of our old doc10-to-doc11 transition process of Cocoon CVS? We need to fix this.
Fixed, although I'm sure it will benefit from your tweaks...
The old Forrest scratchpad is broken. Nicola Ken has been working on xml-forrest/src/resources/convert/* and we need to put the old Cocoon stuff in there.
Ok, I'll place files I don't know what to do with there.
I'm using Cocoon's existing cvs's and adding all relevant Forrest files to it (forrest.properties, etc.) instead of the reverse (grabbing xdocs and adding them to a simple Forrest project, as we did before). I'm using the source of our old scratchpad build targets and have edited them to work with the new ant, build process, etc. I'm building the result for both head and release docs which I'll post on my site.
It's all ***quite*** impressive Forresters!
