> The XMLBeans site is built with Forrest 0.5, which is two versions ago. The site should be upgraded. 
> I'm attaching files that support the upgrade. These files build on version 0.7, the latest Forrest release. In addition, there are changes in these files that represent a few other suggestions that I hope will make the site a little cleaner to look at, a little easier to use.
> Here's a list of the changed files (only changed files are attached with this bug):
> M      forrest.properties
> ?      src/documentation/sitemap.xmap
> M      src/documentation/skinconf.xml
> ?      src/documentation/content/xdocs/overview.xml
> M      src/documentation/content/xdocs/sourceAndBinaries/index.xml
> M      src/documentation/content/xdocs/site.xml
> M      src/documentation/content/xdocs/samples/index.xml
> M      src/documentation/content/xdocs/community/index.xml
> M      src/documentation/content/xdocs/index.xml
> M      src/documentation/content/xdocs/tabs.xml
> M      src/documentation/content/xdocs/documentation/tutorial_getstarted.xml
> Here's a summary of the changes:
> - Upgraded to Forrest 0.7. Most of those changes were to skinconf.xml and forrest.properties.
> - Added a sitemap.xmap so that Forrest knows what to do with TGZ and ZIP files (i.e., nothing) and so that it wouldn't attempt to wrap all of the static HTML in the site skin (having it all consistent is nice, but it makes build time very long indeed).
> - Removed the Project tab and moved its content to the Community tab. There wasn't much on the Project tab.
> - Added items to tab menus that were on the tab page, but not on the menu.
> - Removing a reference to v2 as a project in progress.
> - Moved the overview info from the home page onto a separate overview page linked from the home page.
> - Added the top news item to the home page, with a link to a more complete News page.
> - Added a Getting Started section to the home page with suggestions for places new users can jump in.
> Other minor visual changes (the color scheme is largely the same):
> - Changed the skin to "pelt"; the old "forrest-site" skin is deprecated. 
> - Tweaked colors a bit to achieve the following:
>   - Remove tab look for tabs that aren't selected so that the selected tab isn't upstaged by the others. I think this helps to unclutter the top of the page so that site users can focus on the content beneath.
>   - Used a single color for the selected tab text and the "hover" color for all menu item links and unselected tabs; hope this helps to pull the navigation together a bit. (I used a color similar to the one the existing site uses.)
>   - Moved the Search box to the bottom of the menu. At the top of the page it obscures the logos and tabs there when the frame is narrowed. Most of the menus aren't so long (even fully expanded) that the box is pushed off the page. 
> Issues:
> - I can't figure out how to get the menus to be expanded by default. Anyone?
> - Would really like to see the site have a different logo. I've got a few ideas. I may send something along.
