Actually, we're moving away from axkit because its a PITA to maintain. Currently, two of the three web nodes are running a home grown app called gorg that runs via ruby. It seems to work rather well. > A related question: How hard would it be to enable the dynamic > generation for dev.gentoo.org/~users?

Last I knew, its not a simple task for generating those nice looking html pages that ciaranm made a while back for the developer docs. When I asked him about (he can probably provide more detail), It took a lot of processing time and wasn't that scalable. Now, I'm not sure if anything has changed since then. I can probably setup toucan to use gorg in some fashion if I had a few folks to test it with. I'm sure that would make things easier for a lot of people for rendering things. -- Lance Albertson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Gentoo Infrastructure | Operations Manager --- GPG Public Key: <http://www.ramereth.net/lance.asc> Key fingerprint: 0423 92F3 544A 1282 5AB1 4D07 416F A15D 27F4 B742 ramereth/irc.freenode.net
