Hmm yes, something went wrong. It seems to be working now, but I'll keep
an eye on it. The 'last published' in the footer is the best indicator
of currency.

Forrest is in the same boat as FOP when it comes to site updates. AFAIK,
there are no docs, but the process is:
- Committers commit generated docs to xml-site/targets/{project}
- Every X hours, a script updates /www/xml.apache.org/ or wherever on
the live site, from CVS.
Pretty messy, but this CVS-based site update system has some virtues:
- it is pull-based, so fewer security risks
- site contents can be reverted easily without an admin having to figure
out how the doc generation tool works.
- it's there and it works
Discussions for creating a better site update system should probably be
held on general@xml, since it affects all projects, or forrest-dev, since
people there are particularly interested, and Steven has talked with Sam
about it before.
