I've re-uploaded the offo site with the changes[1]. I've also re-uploaded the SOURCE files[2]. All you have to do to generate the site, is download the Forrest distribution, follow directions (e.g., set $FORREST_HOME), switch to the extracted offo.zip directory, and type the command:

  forrest

This will re-build the HTML. If you want to run it with jetty (nice if you want to see LIVE changes), the command is:

  forrest run

(Of course you'll have to run just 'forrest' if you want to build the HTML to publish on a site).

A couple of notes:
- I could only get forrest to put the SourceForge.net logo w/ project id on the first page, so I manually inserted it on the 2nd
- I had trouble getting the <h1>OFFO</h1> on the front page, so I manually inserted it
NOTE: If you re-generate the site, you will lose those additions.


Cheers!

Simon, if you want to make this LIVE, let me know. I can update the
site to accommodate the changes (primariliy the removal of hyph files
from FOP site) zip up the files, and get them to you if you like.

These are nice looking pages. A few comments:

I prefer to have the OFFO logo to the left, and dominating the
head.

The sourceforge logo must be added to the page, with the exact src URL
as shown on the OFFO home page, containing the project ID. This is a
requirement of sourceforge, and it allows them to collect statistics.

The entries in the navigation box should be: Home, Hyphenation,
Download... I prefer Home over Introduction. The About entry is the
same as the Hyphenation entry, and it should not be the main entry.

In the text of the Hyphenation page there should three paragraphs.

The left hand column of the license section is too narrow; the line
'Original file name' is wrapped.

I would indeed like to make this design live. It will make the site
good looking. I will upload it if you send me the zipped
package. Please, also send me the source files; I will place them in
the home directory of the OFFO project on the sourceforge server.

Regards, Simon
