The Apache Forrect project and OpenOffice.org
I asked about the Apache Forrest proect and it's interactions with OpenOffice.org, he responded to tell me :
Forrest is an XML standards-oriented project documentation framework
based on Apache Cocoon, providing XSLT stylesheets and schemas, images
and other resources. Forrest uses these to render the XML source content
into a website via command-line, robot, or a dynamic web application.
One possible XML source is Openoffice.org Writer documents.
Currently it *only* works in the direction OO --> Apache Forrest. I integrated OO support because it offers an easy-to-use environement to edit files. Although I'm Apache Cocoon committer I don't like editing XML files in order to write documentation.
