Actually I always wanted to add forrest:views to the default pub. That
was one reason I developed them. ;-)

We call them second generation skining because their are really flexible
and you can imitate *any* (really any) site structure and apply css to
it. That makes it possible to e.g. imitate http://www.csszengarden.com/
with the default pub within no time. It is based on a configuration file
that supports:
- page specific view
- doctype specific view (not yet, need to fix a bug first ;-))
- recursive dir fallback views
- application theme specific view
- application default view

I will add the default pub to the forrest svn and start the work over
there.

+1

Let us write an eMail to infra and request a list. Anyway, thing like
doco or the pub I will check in to forrest should go into a
collaborative svn, where forrest/lenya/cocoon committers can all work
together, we may want to talk/request this as well (if possible).

wdyt?
