Over on the Forrest list we are working on integrating Forrest as a
publishing engine for Lenya. This will provide the full power of the new
forrest:views development to Lenya publishing, and later to Lenya
authoring.
However, this may take a while, so if you *need* this skinning now then
maybe it is worth adding. However, if it is just an itch you want to
scratch for a future need then maybe you could assist us with this work
instead.
That sounds reasonable, also with respect to doco.
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.
I have a bad feeling about enhancing the default pub within the Forrest
SVN, not because of Forrest but because of divergence. Can't we just enhance
the existing default pub within the Lenya SVN and let Forrest devs work on
it as well.
