I assume you mean libwpg here. We really should just by using git for
everything. It looks like I forgot to convert all the modules for
libwpg: I'll try to get to this later tonight.

Oops, guess I forgot to commit my later changes.

For libwpd, I'd actually automated the process of updating the web
site using the sync-me script, unfortunately that didn't get pushed:

#!/bin/bash

[ -z $1 ] || UNAME=$1

scp ./*html ./*png ./*jpg ./*css ./*dia
$UNAME,li...@we...:/home/groups/l/li/libwpd/htdocs
ssh $UNAME,li...@we... chmod g+w
/home/groups/l/li/libwpd/htdocs/*

I like the idea of always using what's stored in git for the web site.
Maybe we could write a new shell script that does the pull for you
automatically? What's the manual procedure you're currently using for
that?
