Does a status.dtd make sense?

[Sjur Moshagen <sj...@mac.com>]

Hello,

I would like to have editing support for the status.xml file found at 
the root of a standard Forrest seed. But I could find no status.dtd or 
similar.

So I made my own status.dtd, which is basically a wrapper around the 
exising changes.dtd and todo.dtd (based on v1.2 of those files). Would 
there be any interest in such a DTD? Should I open a new bug to attach 
the files to?

Or is there a specific reason why there is no such dtd?

Regards,
Sjur

Sorry it took so long - planned to update the DTD to version 1.3 
(corresponding to v.13 of the changes.dtd and todo.dtd), but never had 
the time to do it. So you got what I have :-/ - please improve! :-)

There is no reference to this e-mail thread (or the one in dev) because 
of problems with the mail archive. Will be added as soon as the archive 
is back up and running.

Yes, there would be interest. There was discussion on the dev list a few 
weeks ago about enhancing status.xml. This enhanced functionality would 
be moved into a plugin and that plugin would then (in an ideal world) 
develop into a project tracking plugin with links into popular bug 
tracking systems and the like.

The first stage would be the creation of a status.xml DTD and you just 
did that for us :-))

Please create an issue and attach the file
