Hopefully I can help.

A couple of questions.

I see you have some html site files in /site/ of svn. 
Is this content synched with the main site?
If so, where in SVN are you planning on putting the forrest source
files so that others can work on it?

One way would be to have /site/forrest/src/*
and have forrest svn publish site files to /site/html/*
then a manual or cron sync of /site/html/* from /www/stdcxx.apache.org/

So folks could checkout the source tree and those with svn ci access can use
forrests svn deploy facility. Each committer would need to create an
svn.deploy.settings file one level above the svn source so it does not get
committed to svn.

You can look at http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/xml/site/ and specifically
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/xml/site/publish.xml as an example.

How to proceed, I don't know how far you have got. Do you want me to convert
the existing html files in /site/ to xdoc and send in a patch for the whole
source tree (and create a better navigation structure), or something else ?
Within these files , I would use settings
to enable dispatcher to make use of themes, although only the forrest
standard pelt theme is really usable currently, you can base it to create
your own site theme for a custom look and feel.

I think we should work on getting the configuration and publishing working
first, then a theme can be worked on later.
