Wouldn't it be better to switch the complete website to something like ikiwiki[1]? That way every developer has the complete site and history available offline for editing and non-developers can edit it using their webbrowsers. Both http://monotone.ca/ and http://cairographics.org/ are very happy after their transition to ikiwiki. regards, Koen [1] ikiwiki has mtn/svn/hg/git backends, so we can keep it in our scm-du-jour.
