[ROADMAP] Forrest 0.1

[Nicola Ken Barozzi <ni...@apache.org>]

I think we gotta start rolling Forrest 0.1
This is what I propose:

==========================
                  ROADMAP
==========================

[nicolaken] update Forrest to Centipede 1.0-dev

[all] decide how to enhance bool.xml if needed

[nicolaken + all] see if the new xml definitions of Centipede are ok and
make final DTDs

[open] make an index aggregation stuff; see if Gianugo's stuff solves the
problem

[open] make a forrest skin

[all] add documentation to our site

[open] make a converter that changes automatically the old docs into the new
DTD. Basically, we just need to do a search and replace of the DTD
declarations and change s1|s2|s3|s4 to section. I did this by hand for
Jakarta POI, that is currently using the Forrest DTD.

[all] decide how to schedule site update runs - on which machine will it
run? when?

[nicolaken + all] make a forrest specific configuration file, where we have
the names of the projects that want to Forrest.

[nicolaken + open] make a target that collects the docs from the CVSs and
publishes them

[nicolaken] implement basic nagging system with the code used for Cocoon
nags

People, i find myself with *very* little spare cycles at the moment, but
please, don't be waiting for me since I'll come back ASAP.

Cool, some bandwidth available here ...

Let's start with what we've got - if I'm ready with my personal
tinkering on a new book.xml concept, I'll move forward starting from v
0.1.

I'll double-check (if I can access Centipede/Sourceforge - don't know
what has been happening to SF lately, they seem to be having quite some
troubles...)

If no-one else does, I'll be happy to do so, but only by the end of next
week.

OK for me, thanks for triggering us. I'll be happy to help out - how
about a 0.1 release by the end of April?
