Yes. We need to add a note to etc/RELEASE_PROCESS.txt The version number needs to be incremented as part of the lead-up to release. I don't know how to ensure that we update it for each release. Perhaps add an ongoing Jira issue for it. > I am also looking at getting ForrestBar on the > official Mozilla extensions site so that updates will be automatic for > users. Is there any problem with this that I'm not aware of? I don't know anything about it so cannot say.

Thanks for giving it some attention. Our Zone could be added to the Forrest section. forrest.zones.apache.org The Forrest/JIRA link would be better to go via our http://forrest.apache.org/issues.html We will gradually enhance this page to lead them into JIRA and provide ready-to-go searches etc. The References section is a good idea for some high-level references. The Cocoon links will change soon as they re-arrange their documentation. At some stage the Projects/Browse All CVS will be removed. All projects will be migrated to SVN by 2006-01-01 The Projects section could also link to http://www.apache.org/foundation/projects.html More below ... > Addison Berry (JIRA) wrote: > > > [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-180?page=all ] > > > >Addison Berry updated FOR-180: > >------------------------------ > > > > Attachment: forrestbar.diff > > forrestbar.xpi > > forrestbar.xml.diff > > > >This new extension will work with Mozilla 1.x and Firefox 0.9 - 1.5 > >versions.

It is manually generated after any occasional change. It gets added to our "site-author" tree. Everything that is generated from there gets onto the server, e.g. mirrors.cgi and .htaccess site-author/content/xdocs/tools/forrestbar.xpi I just updated the website for forrestbar.html and forrestbar.xpi -David
