By Forrest, usually by hand. I update the Forrest site with:
jeff@expresso:~/xml-forrest$ forrest
... wait for Forrest to finish ...
jeff@expresso:~/xml-forrest$ cp -rp build/site/* ../../../xml-site/targets/forrest
jeff@expresso:~/xml-forrest$ cd ../xml-site/targets/forrest
jeff@expresso:~/xml-site/targets/forrest$ cvs update
... Check for files that need to be 'cvs add'ed ...
jeff@expresso:~/xml-site/targets/forrest$ cvs commit

Forrestbot is a glorified Ant script which automates the process of
checking out a site's contents from CVS, building the docs and uploading
the docs somewhere. It currently has no official role in the
getting-HTML-onto-Apache process.

forrestbot.cocoondev.org currently plays no role in the process of
checking HTML into xml-site. It could in future, but not yet.
The username/password is forrest-dev/forrest-dev. Logging in simply
allows you to trigger a refresh of forrestbot.cocoondev.org/site/xml-fop.

It doesn't :) Sorry if I implied it did by posting that URL in the
middle of the discussion.
However, if no-one comes up with a better mechanism for updating the live
site than xml-site/targets/*, then I will enable the commit-to-Apache-CVS
button, and forrestbot.cocoondev.org will be useful as more than just a
staging server.
