Forrest seems largely to have been built to document projects (base configurations require project name and the organization logo is optional). -- also, from what I saw, bending Forrest to the will of general CMS needs is quite a bit more difficult... The recommendation seems to be "use one of the existing layouts, don't try to make your own"
On an intranet, forrest can be used to easily publish news about a project, documentation, releases etc. Whereas lenya is more apt to creation of your own document types for any particular need. Short answer: Lenya is designed to help you manage the content of a website; Forrest is designed to help you focus on the content of a project-related website. The logical distiction is that Forrest is more specialized for an internal project. When I say "project-related" I'm referring to a non-web project that is currently underway... Many apache products are documented using Forrest; many public websites are designed with lenya. A bit wordy, but the distinction isn't easy to grasp at first, so I err on the side of wordy. -----Original Message----- From: Hugo Osorio <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Wed, 24 Aug 2005 12:52:55 To:[email protected] Subject: Re: Forrest & Lenya thanks for your answer,,. what do you mean with project-specific.. and logistics.. i am a little bit out of focus... could you give an example.. thank you 2005/8/24, Greyson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Forrest is really geared more towards project-specific management and logistics, whereas Lenya is geared towards general web publication. -----Original Message----- From: Hugo Osorio <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Wed, 24 Aug 2005 12:29:22 To:[email protected] Subject: Forrest & Lenya Hello group, Please could you tell me what's the difference between Forrest & Lenya?
