A definate approval from me, but I've demoted myself from webmaster (still working on the phd) and Ade Barkah should thus have a say, as the official one in charge here. So long as nothing inside www/data changes (yet), nothing in the existing web build procedure should break. When we start re-configuring www/data, would could make a (short-lived) "www-stable" cvs branch off so as not to disrupt the live web page production during final testing of the new procedure. -john
