Do you mean live Forrest webapps running in Tomcat? That would need a
separate port, or mod_jk/mod_webapp hacking.. and lots of mem permanently
allocated.. I think statically generated would be better :)


no statically generated. Basically committer dirs are registered in a config file and then the forrest goes and
generates them all.




We won't
have 60-300 ssh demons running remotely uploading pages opening up security holes... and its just good clean infrastructure!



How about:

- providing a standard Forrest install in /usr/local/forrest
- putting /usr/local/forrest/bin in the PATH

Then the process of creating a home page on icarus is:

mkdir ~/homesite
cd ~/homesite
cat >> forrest.properties << EOF
project.site-dir=${user.home}/public_html
EOF
forrest seed    # Generates a template project
vim src/documentation/content/xdocs/*.xml  # Add content
forrest         # Generate HTML from XML


It takes Forrest 49 secs to render a basic site on my box. I don't think there's any need for a cron-driven system, as most people would need to regenerate very rarely.

One possibility of a centralized system is that we could automatically
include a 'People' tab, linking to other committers' home pages. The
source for people.xml would have to be a publicly editable file in
/var/forrest/ or somewhere.


yes.  Only I envisioned it in cvs.
