forrest based sites
Hi,

I have just created a tiny site for my consulting activities using forrest.

I like the fact of creating my site based upon xml files which are in
source control.

This is one of the nice aspects of forrest.

Now, I am wondering, did some forrest users skin their site with JQuery
menus ?

Is it maybe already part of some forrest plugin ?

If not, what would be the steps to implement that ?

I thought that maybe we can combine the good architectural design of
forrest with some seductive bells and whistles.

Regards,

Antoine

Not that I'm aware of.

No, not yet.

It could be implemented in a plugin, sure, but I think it could also
be done in a skin or theme. The starting point for any of these
approaches would be to copy an existing plugin | skin | theme and
start customising. Most of the beginning work can stay here on the
user list, but dispatcher theme topics will need to migrate to our dev
list because it is unreleased.

If you run into any snags with a given approach, ask away.
