The various news documents are now generated from a single source: site/news.xml.
This file contains all new news.
The build process uses this file to generate an RSS feed, and to
generate XML content files in the site/news folder (which are then
converted to HTML). The master index
is generated from this file as well (it is limited to the most recent 20 entries).
The format should be easy to grasp. A root <news> element contains
<group> elements. Each <group> has an @id and a @title and will be
used to generate a single news file in the site/news folder.
Currently, a "group" is a calendar quarter, but this can change in the
future if things really heat up (i.e., monthly news pages rather than
quarterly).
<group> contains <release> and <news>. Both of these contain an @id
attribute (consisting of "YYYYMMDD.x", i.e., a date stamp and index
within a day), and a @date attribute (a formatted date, such as "17
October 2005").
<release> contains @product which is the product that was released
(i.e., "Tapestry 4.0-beta-11").
<news> contains @title which is simply the title of the news entry
(i.e., "Right Commons-Cli 1.0 Jar Now In Java Repository").
<release> and <news> contains a body of markup, the details about that
product release or general news entry.
The site.xml navigation contains link to the RSS feed.
