I agree, but what I meant is to work as the marketing (uugh!)
departments work, the webmasters take the information from the
maintainers and then create a web page following GNU guidelines. Or,
as I described in a previous email, for basic web pages all what is
needed from the maintainer is to create an XML file and a script will
do the work.

The idea of the XML and the script solves this problem.
