The data is from the Google Web Master Tools.   Anyone doing site-wide
website work should probably have access.  Want access?

I just took the current version and attached it to the BZ issue.

Some of these pages are NL pages, for example:

http://www.openoffice.org/cs/bugs.html

Figuring out a title for these is a little harder, but maybe the first
header on the page would be a good indication.

I think the most efficient way to accomplish this this task is with an
editor that can search for these files by a regex and load them
automatically, rather than process a list of URLs in a file.  If done that
way I bet pages could be processed in 15-20 seconds each.

Maybe a topic for a separate thread.  In general we're doing very good on
the key searches. I have a small list of specific queries I've been working
to improve our position for, and I'm getting some success.  But it has been
more about producing useful, relevant, targeted content.  Meta description
gives you maybe a little edge, but the site is pretty well optimized that
already.
