What I discovered in the process was item 8 (which I had
accidentally merged with item 7 on a previous edit):

8. The documents that are published by Forrest need to
be subsequently checked-in to the xml-site CVS.

Do you mean the live site cvs? Do we **really** have to do this? Goodness, I thought Forrest automation would eliminate this step.
Why is it still needed?


Good point. However, this was an "issue" gleaned from
some email [1], that cvs history had to be maintained for
xml-site/targets/*.html

Another reason was that the current publishing mechanism.
is an automated cron job that just copies the content
of xml-site/targets/cocoon/ to xml.apache.org

[1] See Ken email linked from wiki to:

It seems that automatic "publishing" to CVS can be done by redoing an import to CVS at each site update, and CVS should be able to understand what has changed and what not (like a commit that also creates dirs).


Does anyone know if this can be a problem or a solution?
