I did some research to find the ASF projects that manage their websites with Apache Forrest, and am sending similar email to each project's dev mail list.
The purposes of this email are to remind people about some of the useful facilities of Forrest, and also alert them to discussion about the status and future directions of Forrest, and to appeal for people to assist Forrest. --- oOo --- These are useful facilities to assist with developing and managing a Forrest solution for your project's website. "How to deploy documentation with the Forrestbot svn workstage" This explains how the Forrest project manages our own documentation. http://forrest.apache.org/howto-forrestbot-svn.html "Generate an ASF mirrors page using interactive web form" http://forrest.apache.org/docs/dev/howto/howto-asf-mirror.html "ForrestBar - Firefox toolbar to ease navigation and search of Forrest resources" http://forrest.apache.org/tools/forrestbar.html "How to do development with Apache Forrest" http://forrest.apache.org/howto-dev.html "Frequently Asked Questions" http://forrest.apache.org/faq.html "The Anakia output plugin" This was developed to assist the old Incubator website to stop using Forrest and export all content to an Anakia "xdoc" format. From there it could used by an Anakia-based build system, or be further transformed. http://forrest.apache.org/pluginDocs/plugins_0_80/org.apache.forrest.plugin.output.Anakia/ As usual, if you need further assistance with anything then please ask on the Forrest mail lists. --- oOo --- There is discussion currently underway on the Forrest dev mail list about the current status and future direction of Forrest. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.text.xml.forrest.devel/27325 If anyone can assist Forrest, in any capacity, then please do. -David
