When you say I need to add the date as metadata, where would I add the date? Do you mean by using meta elements in the head section of the xdocs source file?
Like I said, in 0.7 meta-data handling is poor. Better to switch to 0.8 first. There's no point in you doing the work for 0.7 only to have to change in 0.8.
Ideally I would like for Forrest to be able to access the SVN metadata without having to use and enable SVN keyword substitution for each source file. Is this possible?
Almost certainly it will be. But Forrest does not currently support this, it will require a new Cocoon Genereator, hence some Java coding. If you are interested then join us on the Dev list where we can provide some background info on how to do it.
How soon is "very soon" to you? By the end of next week? By the end of April?
The vote has not finished yet, but you can see the proposed timeline (and the vote) in http://marc.info/?t=117496909600002&r=1&w=2
The final release date (if passed in the above vote) is intended to be Monday 2007-04-16 at 22:00 UTC
Of course, this is dependant on no blockers being discovered during the testing phase.
