That sounds lovely. I'll flag this as a TODO for me. I'm starting to
thump on the hurd pages pretty shortly. We have an email list
address@hidden (Mailman controlled if you need more email, archived if
not <grin>) so I'll start to work with those folks on this.

I can do this. Do you prefer kerberized rsh or ssh for the underlying
protocol?
Note that if you keep stuff in a CVS repository, I can rsync that off of
you and do updates from that.

I don't mind doing this if you're too busy, but otherwise I'll get the
information to you a touch later.

Well, I'm only really interested in the Hurd stuff. I'm trying to avoid
linking off to other sites, 'cause I don't always notice links going away.

cron is good... Sweet, sweet cron (Appropriate Homer Simpson noise...)

Yup!

Not at all, but thanks for the offer! =)
Seriously, I'm swamped with what I've taken on so far, but I'd be really
excited to get this type of information up there.
I'll email you soon.
