New on this list ...

[Ferdinand Soethe <sa...@soethe.net>]

Hi there,

pardon my not introducing myself to this list when I started posting
here a couple of days ago.

My name is Ferdinand Soethe, I'm from Hannover, Germany and I'm a
system analyst and author of software books.

I'm currently doing research for a book for O'Reilly Germany which
deals with practical uses (beyond the hype) of XML-technologies for
small business.

I ran into this beautiful project when looking for an XML-based CMS
that works off- and online.

Let me say that I'm very impressed with the current capabilities of
Forrest and I'm seriously considering to introduce it as the tool for
a big part of my book as well as the subject for a separate book just
on Forrest.

Since I need to work my into the system anyway, I'd be happy to
contribute bits and pieces of documentation in German or English.
  

Regards,
Ferdinand

Actually lenya wants to fully integrate forrest as plugin to use all the
awesome features we have here.

BTW: Cheers again, David, for correcting my stuff. Maybe we should talk
about private english lessons ;-) LOL

BTW: Forrest does hope to integrate certain capabilities
with Lenya at some stage.

We are not really a CMS. We are more about documentation. You may want 
to have a look as well into Apache Lenya. http://cocoon.apache.org/cocoon

No need to, but thanks ... a good idea.

Thanks.

Just one thing: remember that Forrest is still 0.x release
version. An in-depth book might not be suitable at this stage.
Stick with us a see what evolves.
