Would it make sense to also pull a short description of the skin so
that users can get a list of available skins including a short
description (with the available-skins command).
That way we could perhaps stop maintaining the descriptions of skins
on the web site and simply have each skin explain itself. Might be
useful to include the development status of the skin in the listing as
well.
Take a look at http://forrest.apache.org/0.7/docs/plugins/index.html
I would propose that the first stage is to generalise this code into a
helper package and use tat to generate both the plugins and skins list.
As I said in an earlier mail, I think a later version should do as Tim
suggests and have the individual skin/plugin details within the
skin/plugin itself, but lets do one step at a time.
