Forrest 0.7
Apache Forrest is a publishing framework that transforms input from various sources into a unified presentation. more>>
Apache Forrest is a publishing framework that transforms input from various sources into a unified presentation in one or more output formats.
The modular and extensible plugin architecture is based on Apache Cocoon and relevant standards, which separates presentation from content.
Forrest can generate static documents, be used as a dynamic server, or be deployed by its automated facility.
Forrest is designed with the new user in mind. Much effort has gone into making the process of generating a new site easy and simple:
Step 1: Do forrest seed to populate the directory with template site structure and contents.
Step 2: Add content by editing docs in task-specific, presentation-neutral XML.
Step 3: Do forrest run then use the web browser to immediately review changes at http://localhost:8888/
Step 4: Do forrest to generate the complete website from the XML sources. Various styles (known as skins) are available. Custom skins can be developed.
Step 5: For more information about installation and use, see the Using Forrest guide.
Forrests focus on low "startup cost" makes it ideal for rapid development of small sites, where time and budget constraints do not allow time-wasting HTML experiments. Of course, that same methodology can scale up to large projects. Your development team does not need Java experience, or even XML skills, to use Forrest. The framework lets you concentrate on content and design.
By separating content from presentation, providing content templates and pre-written skins, Forrest is unequalled at enabling content producers to get their message out fast. This separation of concerns makes Forrest excellent to publish project documentation (notably software projects), intranets, and home pages, and anything else you can think of.
Forrest is far from a quick and dirty solution however. Forrest is built on the worlds leading XML application framework, Apache Cocoon, which provides advanced users with extremely powerful publishing capabilities.
* Multiple task-specific source XML formats can be used (How-To, FAQ, changelogs and todo lists supported natively). Source formats include: Apache xdocs xml format, plain html documents, some Wiki formats, a subset of DocBook, ...
* Multiple output formats supported, for example HTML and PDF (using Apache FOP).
* SVG to PNG rendering (using Apache Batik). Simply drop the SVG in the appropriate directory and it will be rendered as PNG.
* Transparent inclusion and aggregation of external content, like RSS feeds.
* Anything else possible with the Cocoon sitemap. Using database queries, charting, web services integration; the possibilities are constantly growing as Cocoon grows. See the Cocoon Features list for the full suite of capabilities.
* Based on Java and XML standards, Forrest is platform-independent, making for a documentation system that is just as portable as the XML data that it processes.
Unique amongst comparable documentation tools, Forrest generates sites that can run both interactively as a dynamic web application, or as statically rendered pages.
This provides a path for site growth: start off small and static, and if dynamic features (user login, forms processing, runtime data, site search etc) are one day needed, these can be accommodated by switching to webapp mode.
Running as a webapp has a major advantage during development: content can be written, and then the rendered output viewed almost instantly in a web browser. This webapp technique enables Forrests edit/review cycle to be faster than command-line transformation tools.

Rhizome Wiki 0.6.0
Rhizome is a Wiki-like content management and delivery system that exposes the entire site. more>>
Rhizome is a Wiki-like content management and delivery system that exposes the entire site -- content, structure, and metadata as editable RDF. This means that instead of just creating a site with URLs that correspond to a page of HTML, with Rhizome you can create URLs that represent just about anything, such as:
- structural components of content (such as a bullet point or a definition).
- abstract entities that can be presented in different ways depending on the context.
- relationships between entities or content, such as annotations or categories.
Rhizome is designed to enable non-technical users to create these representations in an easy, ad-hoc manner. To this end, it includes a text formatting language which similar to a Wikis but lets you author arbitrary XML content and RDF metadata. And for developers, this allows both content and structure to be easily repurposed and complex web applications rapidly developed.
The long-term vision is that each Rhizome site will intertwine together, forming an emergent fuzzy taxonomy over a peer-to-peer network.
The nearer-term goals of Rhizome are:
- To allow (relatively) non-technical folk to create "Semantic web"-enabled web sites.
- To provide a platform for the rapid-development of web applications
- To provide a test-bed for experimenting with new forms of collaborative knowledge production and communication
- A showcase and test-bed for its underlying technologies: Rx4RDF, ZML, and Raccoon
Main features:
Wiki ease
- All the functionality of a Wiki: public and automatic creation of pages and links using simple text formatting rules
- But the same formatting rules can used to author arbitrary HTML, XML and RDF
- And you can create and edit not just content but also the metadata, site structure and appearance, even application behavior
- Including dynamic pages: supports XSLT, RxSLT, Python, RxUpdate
- Thus enabling dynamic, rule and context based presentation of content
Advanced Content Management functionality
- pages can consist of any content: xml, html, binary, etc.
- content, metadata and site structure is a stored as RDF: enabling it be repurposable, human editable, application agnostic, etc.
- flexible authorization and security model
- staging/release workflow
- native versioning of content and metadata, conflict detection
- supports local file system or browser-based development
- can generate static websites
- import/export of content and metadata
- flexible backend: supports multiple RDF engines (Redland, 4Suite, RDFLib) with multiple datastores: file based, SQL databases, embeddable databases (Sleepycat, Metakit)
XHTML or arbitrary XML can be authored in ZML in a manner very similar to Wiki text formatting rules. Rhizome comes with built-in support for Apache Forrest document types and has preliminary support for DocBook. You can also easily view and edit RDF metadata for the site using RxML.
Almost all of Rhizomes functionality can be found its dynamic pages, which are written in RxSLT, XSLT, and RxUpdate. These can be edited like any other page, making it easy to add and change functionality without restarting the server. You can use RxUpdate to migrate the underlying schema at run-time. Rhizome supports fine-grained authorization and versioning of both metadata and content, so you have some guard rails too.
Enhancements:
- This release adds "shredding": a framework (including GRDDL support) for extracting RDF from content and maintaining the relationship between them over time.
- It also includes better support for viewing and editing RDF directly with most RDF formats.
- There are also several UI enhancements, including a new UI for managing users and roles, more Wiki features, and page and comment spam detection via the Akismet service.
- Last but not least, it is several times faster than previous releases.

Hanzi Quiz 0.3.1
Hanzi Quiz project is a JavaScript multiple-choice Hanzi quiz generator. more>>
Hanzi Quiz project is a JavaScript multiple-choice Hanzi quiz generator.
Hanzi Quiz randomly generates multiple-choice questions from a list containing Hanzi (Chinese characters), Pinyin (pronunciation), and English. Questions and choices can be from any category.
Enhancements:
- With the v0.3.1 release, the choices are even less random: You wont see the answer to the question you just saw as a choice in the next one. Or the one after that. After all, theyd be too easy to eliminate. Towards the end of the quiz I have to start recycling answers, but youre more likely to have forgotten that youve seen them by then.
- The other improvement in v0.3.1 is that it will now work in Mac IE 5+ (although you need to install the appropriate font to get all the pinyin accents). I had no idea that this didnt work until I visited my family this past Christmas. Argh! All these browsers have different quirks. (I hear Hanzi Quiz is hosed on Safari. That wont be fixed for a while.)
- Version 0.3 was an extensive re-write of the prior version (0.2a), using DHTML and Unicode.
- While the 0.3 series is light-years beyond the 0.2a version, it does require a modern browser. Either Mozilla or its commercial variant Netscape Navigator (version 6 or greater), or Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5 or greater will do. It looks like your current browser will work.
- If, for whatever reason, you want to to stick with the older, non-DHTML version 0.2a, you can find it here. I hope everyone will use the shiny new one, though.
