i've been following this debate (off and on) for quite a while now (but had a bit of break without internet at Christmas) and wonder whether this step is a (the?) fundemental problem. IIRC one of the crucial things about gaining acceptance of anakia from those outside jakarta was that it ran with minimal installation. i note that a lot of the issues noted by those using forrest on this list were solved by David but often required an upgrade. we've run into similar problems with maven over in the commons in jakartaland: insisting that people upgrade their maven installs to a very specific configuration and versions which change regularly has proved a definite disincentive to people contributing and maintaining communal documentation. the anakia binaries used to generate the foundation site are stored in subversion and can be run very simply. perhaps committed a fully configured installation to subversion would make things a lot easier. - robert
