I've now also:

- set up http://www.gnome.org/updatelogs to serve up the files that
'logify' spits out, which should hopefully make it easier for people to
identify and discuss site build problems.
- removed all the 'webmaster gnome org' redirection, so the above logs
files may one day potentially achieve a non-zero length :)
- removed all the redundant crap (loads of commented out jobs) from
gnomeweb's crontab (there's a backup in gnomeweb's homedir) and made
sure all update scripts were running on logify
- written up the automatic update mechanism a little in
http://live.gnome.org/WebSites

As Jeff says, probably better if we redirect this traffic to
gnome-web-list for now and try to sanitise it somehow. I'll update the
alias on menubar in a moment. Jeff, if it makes sense to dismantle the
old 'gnome-webmaster-list', we should probably do that too.
