+ Create the Plugin XMap file
+ The plugin xmap
file is a Cocoon sitemap that is mounted
+ at a strategic place in the Forrest pipeline. It is in this file
+ that you will instruct Forrest how to operate. An input plugin
+ must provide a input.xmap
file, an ouput plugin
+ must provide a output.xmap
file, whilst an internal
+ plugin provides a sitemap.xmap
file.

+
+ Create the Necessary Resource Files
+ Discuss the XSL files and other such resources
+
+
+
+ Create the Documentation
+ Plugin documentation should provide (as a minimum) an
+ index page that provides an overview and a set of samples that demonstrate
+ the functionlaity of the plugin.

+
+ Register the Plugin with Apache Forrest
+ Describe the plugins.xml file
+ Describe making a request of Forrest devs for
+ inclusion
