'open issues' page

[Steven Noels <st...@outerthought.org>]

Dear all,

I played around with the RSS-like feeds Jira is producing, and set up an 
'open issues' page: 
http://forrestbot.cocoondev.org/sites/xml-forrest/forrest-issues.html

Problem is that this page requires live internet access (to build 
Forrest's own site, at least). Dunnow if this is a big problem, what do 
you think?

Also, one might question whether it is useful to put up such 
time-sensitive info on the website. Anyway, it was just a quick hack, so 
  feel free to comment!

</Steven>

Very nice!

It doesn't kill the build when offline:

...
 * [54] mail-lists.html
 * [54] mail-archives.html
 * [0] 
-> [broken page] forrest-issues.html <- 

     issues.cocoondev.org
     
 * [55] primer.html
 * [54] forrest-contract.html
...

So not a big problem IMO.

I think this particular info is very useful to have.  Looks like we need
a cron job regularly building the site.
