David Soulayrol <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License: 
Package: Achille
System name: achille
Type: non-GNU

Description:
Achille is a simple tool for producing a site made of static Web pages from XML 
documents written with a subset of the Docbook DTD. Its output is XHTML 1.1 
compliant and makes use of CSS 2. Transformation uses XSLT.

Achille follows these steps:
- creation of indexes. Currently, the process is fairly simple but will be 
expanded to index articles, files, images, etc.
- transformation throught XSLT processor.
- copy of files that are imported without transformation (CSS sheets, images, 
archives, other HTML pages ...)

The following two sites are produced with Achille :

http://dsoulayrol.free.fr/soft/achille/index.html

I began to write Achille with bash, Sed, Awk and xsltproc, but i\'m currently 
writing a new implementation from scratch in Python. It does not work properly 
at the moment.

See http://dsoulayrol.free.fr/repository/achille-20030423.tgz

In this archive you can find the python packages (i\'m learning python, so it 
is not still very good i think) and the sources of both sites given previously.

For the moment, all is in french, apart from the code.


Other Software Required:
Python (2.2 probably) with 
  - 4Suite package for XML and XSLT.
  - Probably the EXIF package, and PIL too, someday for image indexes (or image 
galleries).
