Yeah, I thought so ;-) and can perfectly understand that!

:) Thanks. The problem is the menu ATM :(. ...but I will have a closer 
look on http://xml.apache.org/forrest/linking.html. I reckon I will find 
some "update to 0.6" issues ;-)

Jupp, lets do that then. I saw 
http://xml.apache.org/forrest/skin-package.html [1]. So to get it straight:
I created the lenya-site skin by cp the krysalis-site skin and added the 
lenya specific stuff there. So now my skin is in 
src/core/context/skins/lenya-site.

[1] states:

1 - forrest package-skin
The skin package will be made in the skin dir, next to the custom skin.

So I have to run "forrest package-skin" within src/core/context/skins/, 
right?
That will create my lenya-site.zip in src/core/context/skins/, right?
After that I can upload it to our webserver as *.zip, right?

That is the aim to publish our skin. Right now I am the only one that 
can update the lenya-site and that cannot be. If other committer can 
easily install the skin without "touching forrest" I am happy :). ...and 
we all can keep our site up to date.

...I will have to look into forrestbot, because I would like to automate 
the process described at 
http://cocoon.apache.org/lenya/community/website-update.html. Forrestbot 
can assist us with that, right?

King regards
