New Forrest Example Site

[Sean Wheller <se...@inwords.co.za>]

Hey Forrest team, I've been in the woods for some weeks.

I return with news that the OpenICDL Project website is currently based 
Forrest [http://icdl.tsf.org.za].

Now I am up for developing a new skin for the OpenICDL project and would like 
to contribute it back to the Forrest community. 

Any help or ideas will be much appreciated. I can be reach at the address 
below or better still on the icdl-user mailing list.

Enjoy,

It's "kind of" documented. This is alpha code and is a moving target. 
However, there are a couple of "skins" using the views system.

Start here:

http://forrest.apache.org/docs_0_80/views.html

The dev archives are critical for this work - there is *loads* of stuff 
in there, and, of course, we are there to help. The number of devs 
familiar with views is growing at the moment, but many of us a green 
right now (I recently started experimenting).

dude, turn your head for a minute on this project and everything changes :-)

No really, cool. I assume there is some documentation to help me get up to 
speed with views, right?

Added. It will be published with the next site update.

You have been out of touch for a while, so please be aware
that the Forrest dev community is currently working on
a new facility codenamed "views" which will probably
replace "skins".
