For ASF and other events or other announcements dynamic inclusion of a
common page (project or ASF wide) would work.

Current documentation is at:

Each website would still have to be regenerated after each new RSS
message. Or do I miss the idea?

By the above, I mean that we could include the RSS (which would
require regeneration for updated HTML to be rendered) *and* we could
include JavaScript/Ajax to replace the content with updated
information (which would *not* require regeneration to keep the info
current). Info on including JavaScript (& CSS) in a Forrest site is
available here:

The following FAQ indicates how to include HTML in standard HTML
format (as opposed to Forrest's xdoc format):

D'oh! I forgot about that. I don't see that as too big a deal, as all
it would take is someone noticing it's old, and then re-generating the
site(s)...
Other options:
- include it as RSS (requiring regeneration), and include a
JavaScript/AJAX to replace it (e.g., via .innerHTML) if it's updated
- <ack!>iframe it</ack!>
