Dear all,

thanks to various remarks from Joerg, Diana and Nicola, I have been 
thinking lately that we have three slightly different goals for Forrest.

* xml.apache.org: cross-project website generation with project metrics 
(download stats) and common documentation sections
* remote doco building for subscribed projects, Gump-like fashion
* a documentation environment for individual projects which need a solid 
framework for local docs generation, and distro docs packaging (think of 
PDF here)

Looking at it, it seems like we could manage supporting this three-fold 
goal if we step back and recomponentize the different aspects.

But first, I want a general feeling for your private itches. So if both 
users, committers and lurkers could step up and tell us what their main 
interest in Forrest is? Thanks!

           =====================================================
                                  Ballot

           My main interest in Forrest is:

             [  ] building xml.apache.org next generation
             [  ] Gump-style remote doco building
             [  ] industrial strength documentation framework

           =====================================================

Regards,

</Steven>
