New web site in CVS...
I've checked in the redone web site into CVS; it's in a module called 'web'.
The current implementation balances both the need for developers to check out and locally host the pages without custom server configuration, and the need for Linuxcare's professional web team to have features that they need. Balancing these two hasn't always been easy.
Here's how it works. In the site there are two directories; src which contains raw .x files, and tools, which contains a somewhat hacked up perl script to do processing. Running 'make' in the root directory will create a directory called 'generated' which will contain the final HTML. To make your changes, just edit the source in the src/ directory.
At this point, I don't feel any need to change the overall architecture and design of this site. Everyone wants something different, and I want you to actually use this for awhile before you consider anything else.
The content, however, I'd appreciate feedback and CVS commits on. Please be constructive.
We'll continue the use of the existing website until we determine that the new content is ready to go up, then we'll switch over the hosting. Because of the holidays coming up, that switch will probably be at the very beginning of January.

Ok I just committed some fixes. I have a couple comments,
- someone should run a link checker over the site. I tried a lot by hand but didn't want to spend the time to do all the weekly reports, etc.
- weekly/index.html shows the last update from May 12, 2000 and the links are broken. I don't know if we should go to the trouble to change all the old reports(and probably shouldn't for historical reasons) but if we released a new weekly report it would displace this old/b0rken one.
- hardware/index.html is not done. I will take a look at it shortly.
