I fully agree we need a template system, and I have written a very 
simple system to use. I did investigate several existing solutions, but 
I didn't feel any of them where appropriate for art.gnome.org. Many of 
them exceed the needs of art.gnome.org, and add a complexity that I 
think is unwarranted.

However, I'm glad you are interested in helping with a.g.o. Once I have 
committed my template system to CVS, I will need some help stripping out 
all the existing HTML from the PHP and placing it into templates. So 
please help out if you can!
