Another way of thinking about this is:

- Does Lenya own the storage repository and can dictate where it's putting
what? This is what it is today.

Or:

- Can we teach Lenya to edit documents that it does not own and that are
sitting on some external storage with a given, predefined directory layout
structure (i.e. the SVN of the Forrest source of Apache sites).

If you want to use Lenya to edit the content of an XDoc Apache website,
you need the latter, don't you? The structure is given and you would even
have to support a different way of handling the sitemap, which would no
longer be Lenya's sitemap.xml but Forrest's site.xml. (Which is sort of
pseudo-XML which will make it pretty funny IMO.) Ok, the Doco project
might have sorted that all out. Again, apologies for not keeping up with
the discussion here.

Forrest can take Lenya's sitemap.xml and convert it to whatever internal format it needs. Forrest does not expect applications it interfaces with conform to its way of thinking, rather it provides mechanisms for handling any format available.

So, in other words, if Lenya is editing XDocs in an SVN repository and it needs to replace forrests site.xml with lenya's sitemap.xml in order to make this possible that is just fine. We'll write an input plugin for Forrest that converts the sitemap.xml to site.xml - problem solved. Lenya works with its internal format, Forrest with its own.

On a separate but related topic: How do they plan to edit XDoc in Lenya?

See above, Doco does not necessarily have to use XDoc, we support a whole range of input formats. However, for existing XDoc sites I thought BXE could work with various XML schemas.
