Could have sworn I emailed this before. I should put it in a README, 
really, sorry. You should see the entries:

#15:06 &1 x:0 gnustep/www
; ls scripts/
CVS  index.html  reframe.scm  sxmlout.ss  xhtmlfile.ss

To retemplate a secondary page, currently, one uses a command like:

./scripts/reframe.scm infile.html secondary.html.template outfile.html

...with the LGPL'd MzScheme (from http://www.plt-scheme.org/) and 
newBSD'd SSAX (from http://ssax.sf.net/ ) installed. I've not yet 
fixed the whitespace hiccough. Can you tell me whether all of the 
above files are in scripts for you?

It would be nice to have a full set of dozens of mirrors, *or* move 
the site out of the GNU CVS and put a smaller site containing only the 
auto-generated documents there. To be honest, GNU are frustrating me a 
bit at the moment. They haven't answered about these mirror problems 
and now the gnu.gnustep.* uzreto hierarchy seems broken. I'll ask on 
gnu.misc.discuss if that's still working. Maybe someone knows what's 
wrong.

Unless we find out in the next day or so, maybe the best plan is to 
move to a shtml site for www.gnustep.org and gnustep.* mirrors with 
clear mirroring instructions; and leave the autodocs on www.gnu.org 
with some holding pages and include getting the autodocs in the 
mirroring instructions for gnustep mirrors. How would mirror operators 
feel about that?
