Very good decision :-)  I was thinking of promoting Linux as Xindice's
preferred platform (i.e. screenshots from Linux, documentation description for
the Linux OS and not for Windows users, but not the opposite...).  I think it's
our duty to show that Linux is easy to set up and run.

I've written a small "Documentation contribution how-to" so that you can set up
your xindice documentation in what is IMO the most efficient way.  Believe me
on this one: I tried and failed a lot of times with Forrest :-)

It's clearly a Forrest issue so if you're interested in the project, you can
send them a mail.  They are certainly more aware of that kind of problems.
