What Ross is suggesting is to enable each committer at Incubator to use a local forrestbot. No i have not yet enabled that for Incubator. If people think that it will help, then sure. However the current procedure is still simple enough: http://incubator.apache.org/guides/website.html Esentially the same two steps that a local forrestbot would do: 'build', allow you to review, then 'deploy'. > --- > > What's really interesting is that even on the Forrest project we have > this same problem.
