I just went back to the Anil's original proposal and it calls out
Lenya specifically (see below).  I went back and looked because I
don't understand what exactly this does.  I thought the general
approach for "integrating" backend repositories was the use of
locationmap, thus not so much integrated as "linked to".  Is this
"Repository Browser"  a way to "browse" the repository then create a
location match based on what is found?  I've been a way for a couple
weeks now and am slowly catching up so I apologize if I missed
something.  Can someone give me more details of exactly this is to do?
Thanks,

"Repository Browser
------------------
This will allow you to browse a remote repository and include the
documents into a Forrest site. This browser will focus only on Apache
Lenya at this point since this is the Content Management System most
likely to become part of a proposed Apache wide documentation system.
However, the framework will be flexible so that it can support other
browsers e.g. for Webdav, svn, Apache Slide etc"
