Some time ago we agreed to do all changes that could break trunk in a 
branch and only merge when they are working. We need to keep a stable trunk.

We need to start doing this.

Is it too much to revert the changes and do this in a branch?

That way it doesn't matter that you are busy.

Sure other people could provide a patch, but even if they have the time 
I'm sure they would rather be working on stuff that they need. With 
Trunk as it is nobody can work on a production site (yes that is the 
risk of working with head, but then we decided to keep trunk stable).

I want to remember that views are still in the whiteboard. Which means
that their are still unstable and can break. I am the last person that
want that but ...

Yes, I am afraid yes. More so because on my local version I finished all
contracts. There is no more *.page. It will all requested by nuggets and
the dependency to the skinconf is resolved as well. I will check that in
tonight.

Actually I hoped that somebody could give me a helping hand. Anyway this
way I am now really close to have seen all internals of forrest. ;-)

Actually a stable trunk is IMO not for the whiteboard. If nobody needs
views in production then there is no problem at all. ;-) BTW I do not
need "forrest site", still I will have to fix it because it is a core
functionality (and I thought views as well). BTW the linkmap is not
working probably (the reason for views being broken) and that *is* a
core functionality.
