[parisc-linux] New web site in CVS...

[Alex deVries]

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.
