I see. I understood your heavily hard situation before.

Yes, just I thought that "using forrestbot and putting on the cocoondev
means that whoever wants to build poi site would be sure to succeed".
Given that poi site build succeeded in cocoondev, most of the
users/committers might succeed in the site build, using currest Forrest.

TIPS: When you run "ant reports" on the jakarta-poi module,
you have to make sure that you set CVSROOT 
':pserver:anoncvs@cvs.apache.org:/home/cvspublic'.
If you used ssh or whatever, you will fail at 'CVSCHANGELOG'
ant taskdef ("Error running cvs log") ;-)
# This could be an FAQ for all the committers in apache.org,
