<site label="MyProj" href=""
xmlns="http://apache.org/forrest/linkmap/1.0"; tab="SecondTab">

First, why do i have "href" in this template? As the documentation says,
this is ignored.

Hmm, can you provide a link.
The href is normally the place where you define the new dir.

Sorry, have nothing online. But if you make forrest seed and open the site xml and change the value for tab into: tab="samples" the "samples" rider goes activated, but still shows the old startup page. I use 0.8-dev
Try http://forrest.apache.org/docs_0_70/linking.html
thanks, don't know why i didn't found it earlier. I would like to see a Forrest Wiki, like many other Apache projects have :-)

Regards,
Chris
