No, I don't know how.

Good idea; I will do that.

Here are some quick notes to get you going. (...in a rush today.)

Use forrest-0.5 and build Forrest docs as usual.

'cvs checkout xml-site/targets/forrest'

copy stuff from xml-forrest/build/site to xml-site/targets/forrest

'cvs add' any new files.

cvs commit xml-site/targets/forrest

There is a cron job on minotaur (= cvs.apache.org = www.apache,org)
as 'rubys' that does a cvs checkout into /www/xml.apache.org/forrest/
... I think that this happens every six hours.

Done.

If you need to do an urgent update, then you can do:
ssh cvs.apache.org
cd /www/xml.apache.org/forrest/
... ensure 'umask 0002' to make files group writable
cvs update -Pd
... see the Cocoon Wiki page for guidance
