...Can the forrest-in-cocoon decision wait a few days?...
Problem is, we seem to have two or three people willing to work on this in a short timeframe. I'm afraid that postponing the decision on tools might bring the energy down and send everyone back to waiting state.
I don't think the question of Forrest or not has much to do with your (very valid) concerns about merging and litterate programming, so why wait?
Do we need more elements to decide, or is it just a case of jumping in the water on one side or the other?
I feel we should make a decision, taking into account what people have done until now. Apparently Stephan and others are very close from being able to generate the docs with Forrest, and I think we must give them what they need to proceed.
As for Steven, I find it hard to decide - but often a suboptimal decision is better than no decision at all.
