Hello, Great, it looks like there are no objections. I think we should skip modifying the Forrest version of the site and just add the search box to the new Maven-based version of the site. We should be able to do that in early August.
Is 0.90 still planned for August? Quick poll: do others think that indexing commit messages would be valuable?
