Okay, i sent those messages out today.

I did try to encourage people to come to our mail lists
for any followup, and the Subject intentionally has
a double-meaning.

So i am hoping that we will see more activity here.

problem with feeder plugin

Hi,

In a recent post I've been suggested to have a look to the feeder plugin 
(among others) as it could help me to deal with problems in a customised 
contract. I've done it, but I cannot manage to get the plugin working in my 
website. Following the instructions in the feeder plugin site, 
http://forrest.apache.org/pluginDocs/plugins_0_80/org.apache.forrest.plugin.input.feeder/index.html:

- I've created a feedDescriptor.xml with the content

<document>
  <head>
    <title>Test</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <feedDescriptor>
      <feed id="BBCSport_UK">
        <url>http://news.bbc.co.uk/rss/sportonline_uk_edition/front_page/rss.xml</url>
      </feed>
    </feedDescriptor>
  </body>
</document>

Nothing is said in the webpage about filename extension or format. I'm assuming 
it has to be a xdoc document with .xml extension. The file lives in the xdocs 
directory of my project (i.e. src/documentation/content/xdocs)

- In a page of my website I've added (inside a <p> element) the link:

<a href="./feedDescriptor.rss.html">BBC Sports UK</a>

You mean exactly as documented in
http://forrest.apache.org/pluginDocs/plugins_0_80/org.apache.forrest.plugin.input.feeder/samples/singleFeed.html
(which you linked to)

Thanks for following up onlist, this makes it easier for those coming
after you. Clearly the documentation is not very clear, if you can
provide a patch for the plugins documentation that would be very much
appreciated.

Excellent - thank you so much.

Can you please attach your patch to an issue at
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR

The reason is so that it does not get lost in mail (I've not got a
checkout on this machine and will not be back in the office for a week
- others may not pick it up).

The other reason is so that we can do proper tracking of your
contribution and ensure you are correctly credited.

Thanks again for you contributions - they are very much appreciated.

Re: Why does “forrest site” sometimes skip linkmap.html and do nothing else?

I haven't seen this behavior. Which version of Forrest? Have you
customised any forrest.properties settings which affect the build
process?

One could say we already have that space in the whiteboard, but I've
never thought of it this way. It can't hurt to get some (more)
experiments going. Surely some ideas would show up in experiments
which prove useful in current Forrest, but it also doesn't hurt if
that's not the case.

Yes, good idea. No need to get hung up on names at this stage.

I've joined the thread late, so now I'm no longer sure where the rest
of my comments should go. I'll just continue here.

I fall into the same group as several others in the thread. And that
is that my current needs have shifted from Forrest to something very
