Yes, the key word is *exactly* :-)

Well, I cannot do it for the pluginS but I can for the feeder plugin :-). When 
doing it I've realized that in page

http://forrest.apache.org/pluginDocs/plugins_0_90/index.html

most of plugin links (including the feeder plugin) are pointing to 0_80 docs. 
I've done a patch for the current revision of trunk, r832303. The patch has to 
be applied to feeder_dir/src/documentation/content/xdocs/index.xml

I also dowloaded the current official release tarball for linux but I cannot 
find 
the plugin sources there. So I've not pached it for the 0.80 version.
