The memprof website is a separate checkout and a separate CVS module. I don't have the time to do anything to the memprof website, so I've fixed up the CVS script (I'll assume that it was just never restored after we switched to the new machine). If we're going to switch to a blow-targets-away approach to updating www.gnome.org, it would be appreciated if it didn't blow away projects/memprof. (Or I suppose we could add some mod-redirect action to put such things somewhere else on the filesystem and integrate them in virtually.) > I'm also quite certain that anything left in the tree remains since the > site is rebuilt by overlaying the new content over the old.

While I'm not the best person at documenting what I'm doing either, it would be nice maybe to create a /usr/local/www/gnomeweb/ChangeLog or something to keep track of this type of thing? > I've ran a link checker accross w.g.o and I'm afraid we are missing many > valuable extraneous assets.

Looks mostly like re-generatable stuff to me mostly copies of the GNOME-2.4 documentation.... if we want it back. Regards, Owen
