Here's my first stab at a refactored FOP site: http://people.apache.org/~clay/fop_refactored/ Of course, I'm open to suggestions. In a nutshell, here's what I did: - rm -R 0.93/ - rm -R 0.94/ - mv trunk/* ../ - modify site.xml - change links to /0.94/* & /trunk/* to /* - check for broken links I'll likely need to do the above again when we're ready to deploy. Notice, I didn't do an `svn delete` on any of the above, since I'm hoping for feedback first. I'll likely do the SVN equivalents to the above when we're ready for primetime. If that time is now, I could do it fairly quickly. I'm also considering updating the Forrest build process to use Forrest 0.8 instead of Forrest 0.7. If anyone's interested, here're zip'd versions of the site.xml & tabs.xml files: http://people.apache.org/~clay/fop_refactored/site.xml.zip http://people.apache.org/~clay/fop_refactored/tabs.xml.zip Web Maestro Clay -- Regards, The Web Maestro -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - <http://homepage.mac.com/webmaestro/> My religion is simple.
