Bullshit! Lets analyse that ...
1) Create the project Status page.
cd /svn/asf/incubator
svn up
cd site-author/projects/
cp incubation-status-template.html ${project}.html
vi ${project}.html ... edit the content.
cd ..
vi site.xml ... create you entry: copy a line and change two words
svn diff; svn commit
... that would take you 15 minutes, including the 10 minutes for
editing the content.
2) Publish the status page (without forrest)

You can just commit the source changes and leave it to
someone else to generate the website.

Email the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list, and ask someone to do it for you.
Actually, you don't need this step because many of us watch the
commits mailing lists and someone will do it.
Now if you want to do the generation and publishing yourself
using a local installation of forrest then follow:

If you don't, then that is all. Show me what causes you a problem.

No need to "assume" ... the documentation says so explicitly.

Each project can use whatever documentation system that it chooses.
Perhaps use a fancy documentation management system like Forrest
or Maven, or just use simple raw html pages.

Please get your facts straight. You are confusing the community
and casting poor light on a sister project.
