Sean,
I'm not a forrest expert, but the maven format looks simpler.
I will ask Arvid for the differences and for a possible migration path.
Is the documentation for the tags in the forrest trunk generated?
The url for the xdocs is wrong:
svn co https://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/myfaces/forrest/trunk
should be
svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/myfaces/forrest/trunk
Why you want to mavenize the website first? I think this should be the
last part. In tobago we start from ant to the "maven task for ant" and
finaly maven.
Maven is not a publishing system like forrest, but it makes many things
simpler for a developer.
The Tobago website wasn't "mavenized" tobago was "mavenized".
We use maven because it has dependency management is idea aware
a defined lifecyle... see
http://maven.apache.org/benefits-of-using-maven.html
Can you describe the Solaris zones or where I find information?

Bernd,
I actually saw the Tobago site earlier this morning and noticed it was
"mavenized." So are you willing to help with the site conversion? Do
you know if our existing xdocs for forrest will work or do we need to
start over?

Hello Sean,
tobago has been converted to maven2.
I think maven provide a solution for many common problems
(deploy site..deployment, release management).
We would like to share our experiences with maven.
We can use myfaces/tobago for a starting point for a maven2
migration.
Please look at the project page:

There are a lot of new intrastructure changes going on. One major
development is the advent of Solaris "zones." The Struts project is
already making use of these zones and I think we should too. I am not
up to speed on everything but I am working on it. The problem ... not
enough time in the day.
We need a few volunteers who are willing to work on upgrading the
website build procedure. Right now our automated procedure builds but
it doesn't deploy. I'd also like to see if we could deploy the
example apps on one of the new zones. Finally, it might be nice to
see if we could build the website using Maven.
I'm not at all familiar with Maven but I've seen enough to want to
give it a try. I also think that building the website with Maven (or
Maven2) would be a good opportunity for everyone to get familiar with
Maven before deciding on migrating the rest of the build to Maven.
I am willing to put in some time on this but its a massive job and
things are very busy for me lately. If there are one or two people
who want to help I am willing to do my part. It would be great if
some of the Struts team could pitch in since they just did this
excercise themselves but I don't want to volunteer them.
You don't need to be a committer to help. You just need plenty of spare time.
