A while ago we discussed our description of Forrest and concluded that it was a bit limiting.
Actually trying to concisely summarise Forrest is a very difficult task. Here is what is was ... ------------ Apache Forrest is an XML standards-oriented documentation framework based upon Apache Cocoon, providing XSLT stylesheets and schemas, images and other resources. Forrest uses these to render the source content into a website via command-line, robot, or dynamic application. ------------ Here is my proposal so far ... ------------ Apache Forrest is an XML standards-oriented documentation framework based upon Apache Cocoon and separation of concerns. Using a plugin architecture, various source input formats are transformed into a common internal format, aggregated with other sources, and transformed into various output formats. Forrest can be used as a dynamic application or can generate sets of documents via the command-line and deploy with an automated robot. ------------
