Patrick,

assuming you have forrest installed you build by simply typing forrest 
in the directory you checked the sources out from subversion, that is 
the directory where the forrest.properties file is in. The generated 
site is then in build/site.

For delivering changes the following procedure is often followed:

For changes to existing files. Use the subversion diff command and 
capture its output, e.g.

svn diff > mychanges.patch

For new files jar or zip them up unless its only very few.

Then create a BugZilla entry with the title starting with '[PATCH] ...' 
and attach the patch file and if applicable the jar/zip file or the few 
new files individually.

Usually one of the committers will then take care of the rest.
