I have seen some incredibly positive things in the incubator over the last six months. Interestingly, we are not always following what is documented in the policy and standards documents - maybe this is a time to review those documents and reflect on whether what we are doing is better than what we planned to do or vici versa. If the former, then we should update the documentation to reflect reality. > > Re-publishing the site is a bit of an obstacle, which is why I'd like > to see us get Forrest installed on minotaur so that we can kick off > rebuilds.

Yup - it might take me a few days to get to it, but I will see what I can do. On the subject of forrest on Minotaur - I'd *love* to see this happen. I use forrest for some web sites of my own, and have built some scripts to do a CVS checkout hourly of a particular site's source files and then call forrest if any source files have changed. So I'm also happy to look at that. I have been wary in the past, because the preference from infrastructure@ has (reasonably enough) been to have the built site in CVS so that if minotaur crashes they can quickly get sites back online. > > I didn't post to general@ because I would not unilaterially move your > comments to public view.
