yes. And, even though I do have the website xsl stuff on my machine,
compiling your website took a *lot* of time. It appears processing
the files requires some ULR lookup anyways (I locally added --novalid
to the xsltproc to avoid the dtd download, but that didn't change anything).

neither do I (and the few times I looked into php code convinced me that
this isn't something I ever want to get more exposure ;-)

Anyways, with proper rss support may be we don't need that php any more.
Speaking of which, it appears the website xsl from Norm supports rss 1.0
right now, while sf.net generates rss 2.0 feeds. That means I'll have
to rewrite the appropriate templates, which isn't a big deal.

Right. It wasn't available when I first checked (I got an error message),
but now it's working fine. I'll work on a patch to integrate these data
into the website.

uh, I thought that was part of the patch I sent (just two dummy
pages that need to be filled with some general info). Here they
are again. They need to be filled with some text, which I can't
really provide as of now as I don't know enough about the project.
