That's what I meant by having an additional sitemap (in the web master sense of the word). But this page is not normally linked to from anywhere, is it? So unless you explicitly build a link to it, a visitor or search engine would never "find" it, unless they understood Forrest.
True.
Btw: Is this page really needed in the _final site_? In other words could we not eleminate or at least generate it conditionally?
It cannot be generated conditionally, it is a fundamental part of static site generation. It could be deleted after the build, but how do we know it is not being linked to (it is very useful and many Forrest sites, like our own, use it).
Or, as a very simple solution, not sync it?
I'm not sure what your measure of simple is. Using the CLI to achieve what is needed is the simplest solution and requires no customised build/deploy targets. That being said, it is an option, just not one I would use. Ross
