;-) that's good.

Perhaps it should have been discussed before being changed. But for the
record I would have been +1 for changing, my reasoning having been
expressed elsewhere in this thread.
I understand your point that live sites is for users but you are not a
user and the comment was referring to you as a developer of Forrest.
What you say on your own private sites, as Tim observed, is a whole
different matter.

Without an understanding of the importance of community one would never
be voted in as a committer. There are many people who do not agree with
the importance of community and they usually join none ASF-like projects.
NOTE: the above comment is *my* opinion, not necessarily that of the
Forrest project, people with conflicting opinions should not feel that
the above *personal* opinion in any way diminishes the importance of
your own views. Please speak up and disagree if you feel it is necessary.

Its not so difficult in http://forrest.apache.org/docs_0_80/changes.html
which is the official published history of the project, the rest are all
artifacts.
