Here is my summary of why these issues remain outstanding/unpatched and my position on them.
> Key Summary > FOR-1034 SKOS Plugin - Update 20070802 > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-1034 I have tried working with it but the latest patches don't work for me. I am happy to apply it once I get an updated patch file - others may want to give the new patches a try as is, it may work for others on linux maybe I don't know. > FOR-998 [PATCH] Resolve empty cells. > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-998 I am unsure as to the purpose of the patch and so possibly I misunderstand its intention. My understanding of missing spaces table is to emphasise what happens if you don't include empty cell entries. The patch seems to work around the empty cell entries on the table that does not require them due to the nature of being an example of what happens when they are missing. I would like others opinions as to the validity of the patch and whether or not it should be applied. I'll be happy to apply it if others agree. > FOR-934 i18n language override menu > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-934 I have not fully investigated the implications of this, perhaps Sjur or someone else could revisit it. > FOR-905 Recent change in cygwin appears to prevent the classpath for > loop in the forrest command from working > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-905 I do not use Cygwin for anything other than applying patches, I have commented on the issue though. Someone else who uses cygwin with forrest needs to investigate. > FOR-795 Navigation bars for easy access in long documents > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-795 I agree with Ross' comments that it would be very useful. The patch is built against 0.6/0.7 so would need updating and reworking for 0.9 I guess. > FOR-752 Forrestbot "build" workstage creates spurious > "build/webapp/WEB-INF/logs" directory No more comment to make than is already in the Issue, if no-one wants to enhance the patch then it could be applied as is. I am in the same boat as Matthieu here, I don't fully understand if there will be further consequences as a result of applying the patch. If others comment that it is fine as is then I can apply it if others have no time, just let me know. > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-752 > FOR-652 CSS Style Sheets need cleanup, optimization and better naming > of elements I have assigned this to myself and will work on it soon. > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-652 > FOR-635 images not reliably reproduced in PDFs > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-635 I have tried and failed on this one, Ross has had more success I think. I will be leaving this one to someone else. I have removed the patch available as it does not solve the problem. > FOR-412 use CSS for displaying list of Changes > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-412 This has been revisited, the patch and issue now rely on Issue FOR-970 if that is a viable option. > FOR-355 Improved PDF configurability (e.g., TOC, Page Numbers, logo) > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-355 This has been worked on recently and is getting close to being finished. > FOR-311 OOo Headings bug causes Forrest to fail > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-311 I don't use OpenOffice. Clay Leeds has done an awful lot to this as have others, not sure how much more is left to do. > FOR-280 gather index terms from documents to create index page with > links > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-280 This still looks interesting to me and will look at it again when I can.
