I am, but I feel responsible for this, so I must solve it.  The problem is 
probably CSS related.  I'll check it out this weekend.  If I commit the 
change will the cron job take the change to the live site?
If I find the time I'll check out the tab path problem too.

P.S. My current jobs:
1. getting acquainted with the SAP Enterprise Portal at Interbrew
2. finishing my Cocoon based CMS and getting the next Cocoon job started
3. creating a big offer for a site for a big city (10,000 pages)
4. promoting my search engine optimization course
5. getting the first outlines ready of my cocoon course
6. trying to keep my wife happy because she feels neglected (this is the 
toughest one ;-))

Nope, alas :-(

You need to (cvs) check-in the html result of building our docs into the 
xml-site/targets/forrest module/directory, and that is copied every 6 
hours to the live site - this is to prevent that everybody needs access 
to daedalus to update the website

see attached mail from Sam Ruby, who is maintaining that script

so if you manage to get your grips on the xml-site module (to which you 
have commit access, I've just checked CVSROOT/avail), you should be able 
to do the site update yourself (and 'enjoy' the old-fashioned way of 
updating apache.org websites ;-)

I've spend more than an hour to commit everything needed for the 
upgrade, so you're warned ;-)

be careful also not to mess up other project's websites in the process
