Thanks, Clay! I've already fixed most problems locally. There's a
problem with Forrest 0.8 and trunk concerning compliance.pdf. I've
already submitted a patch [1] against Forrest Trunk to fix this (plus
some other improvements). The "knownissues-overview" problem is for
tomorrow. I'll upload the changes when everything is working. The new
PDFs will look quite nice when this is finished. Except for the missing
auto-table-layout support, of course. :-(

I don't see a need to change that. I'll concentrate on the actual
contents to get the release out of the door.

I was thinking about updating the tabs to be more meaningful. Here's
what we currently have:
* Home
* Version 0.93
* Version 0.94
* FOP Trunk
* Development
And I"m thinking about changing that to:
* Home
* FOP Previous Release (0.93)
* FOP Stable Release 0.94
* FOP Trunk
* Development
We could go the 'Versioned Docs' tab route a la Forrest like this:
* Home
* Versioned Docs
o Version 0.93
o Version 0.94
* FOP Trunk
* Development
It would be fairly easy to do, and it doesn't require Forrest:Views
but I'm not a big fan of it myself. Then again I believe the new Quick
Start Guide will be a big help.
Any comments?

D'oh! I'd `svn add`d it, but I wasn't using an svn co with https, so I
had to 'fix' it:

No... I added a new file called 'Quick Start Guide' for the Home
navigation. At present, the Quick Start Guide merely has links to the
important Newbie stuff (mostly what I copied to the Nav from 0.95:
Download, Build, Configure; as well as what you can do with FOP:
graphics, embedding, servlets, etc.). My intention is to turn it into
a 'real' Quick Start Guide.

Did you get the .menuitemgroup CSS to work?
