The page generation script has been modified to regenerate the pages from scratch once a week.
The reason it is done only once a week is not because they take very long to generate, but to minimize the time that pages are unavailable. A better way would be to make the pages in a tmp dir and mv the new directory into place when done. I'll discuss this with Joy before implementing it. -- James (Jay) Treacy [EMAIL PROTECTED]
