Apache Forrest is a standards-based documentation framework based on Apache Cocoon. Forrest emphasizes separation of presentation and content through a plugin architecture for transforming and aggregating a variety of input sources into one or more output formats. This enables Forrest to create a unified document collection that can be hosted dynamically or generated from the command-line and deployed with an automated robot.
Getting better, but I don't like the last sentence because it sounds like a document collection generated from the command line would be deployed with an automated robot, and I think you mean this the other way around
Nope, that is exactly what I mean. See http://forrest.apache.org/proposal-asf-forrestbot.html (we have documentation on teh forrestbot but it seems to have disppeared from the website in our recent reogranisation).
Actually, I'm not sure that most potential users having a first look at forrest would know what you mean by "robot", and they might even find it off-putting. It's ok, but is there some other word that would be less mysterious and still serve the purpose?
Well if you, as a user, find it mysterious that's a problem. Furthermore, if you, as a user with some knowledge of Forrest, can misinterpret it then there is clearly a problem with the last sentence :-)
How about replacing "automated robot" with "automated publishing application"? Increases our word count by one but if we get more clarity as a result I think it is worth it.
Anyway, I'll probably check out now. Good luck, and thanks to all of you for your work on forrest.
Thanks for your feedback, it is extremely valuable to us. We hope to see more of you.
