I'll be restructuring jakart-avalon a bit, as discussed yesterday. It'll be briefly messy. Will say when done.

Leo, great thanks for the hard work and effort.

I've a bit ill ATM, so although I'm replying to mails, I had a hard time doing anything else

Here are fixes I'm going to do:

1 - make Forrest render from simplified docbook
Fixing validation errors in those files, and banging my head on xinclude that is /orthogonal/ to validation 8-)

 2 - make avalon-tigris render the same in Mozilla and IE
Done. Added a complete DTD spec output for HTML in Forrest CVS version..

 3 - use the Avalon logo
Now it's using the SVG to generate it dynamically to PNG.
Coul ddo the same when we get a correct SVG version of the Avalon logo.

 4 - use the javadocs created by Gump instead of the ones in CVS
After point 1.

 5 - update the site CVS with the updated skin
     http://forrestbot.cocoondev.org/site/jakarta-avalon-site
After point 4.


Any other things to check for ATM?

In these cases I'd prefer to do as Ant does, just put a page saying "the docs were not generated".

Aha! Yup, this *is* a good point. Will patch Cocoon.

You mean a link that changes if you are offline or online?
We ddefine links in site.xml now. So I guess you would need something like a offline="" attribute... hmmm, gotta think about this.

I'll post something on this to Forrest-dev.
