<*not* speaking on behalf of the Xalan team/> Jeff, just so I can understand the Forrestbot process better--let's say Forrest is up to 0.6, and Xalan has all the docs updated to Forrest XML, and placed already in CVS just as FOP does here:
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/xml-fop/src/documentation/ What are the next steps & what is the delay in getting Forrest to take over the web "hosting" process--i.e., automatic publishing and updating of the web site based on what's in CVS? (The Forrest site documentation on the Forrestbot seems to be about locally created Forrestbots and not the one managed by your team.)
