Yes, I would prefer a standardish way to distribute these types of things. GLSA's seem to work fine, but they are XML only currently and I don't think this GLEP is heading that way. If we can nail down the standards for local vs. remote (www) it should work fine from the infra side. > | Perhaps we could do the same for the news item where they actually > | reside in the documentation module and the 'plain text' versions of > | the files get copied into the tree at regen time.

It's hard enough mapping GLEPs onto > that... Yeah, I wondered about that too. I think the jist of this whole thread is the www presentation level of it would most likely end up as guidexml (unless there's a good reason to use something totally different). The mean reason I say that is because I'm guessing most of the detailed information will reside on the actual www nodes under the GDP which at this time I'd like to keep in xml form. (And i'm only talking about the presentation layer, not what you'll see in the tree). If however, we think its better to have a totally separate vhost like errata, we can be more flexible on the format we use to display. All I'm after from an infra POV is something simple for us to manage and scale.
