[11:57] schestowitz A lot of this can and should be automated. The FSF and to some extent GNU (.org) relies a lot on Drupal, but some pages (articles) are static and there's a wiki. The key thing is RSS feeds. In our case, we've developed tools (AGPLv3) to convert the WordPress RSS feeds and MediaWiki RSS feeds into interlinked GemText, which basically updates everything int he background (cron jobs). The same is true for the Git 'Web' (Gemini) interface. Because [11:57] schestowitz GemText is so simple it is very simple to program with or 'hack' on. [11:57] schestowitz We've shared a lot of code in [11:57] schestowitz gemini://gemini.techrights.org/git/ [11:57] schestowitz WWW gateway: [11:57] schestowitz http://gemini.techrights.org/proxy?url=gemini://gemini.techrights.org/git/ [11:57] -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-gemini.techrights.org | Gemini Proxy for Techrights ● Feb 11 [12:00] schestowitz > I imagine that GNU has a quite consistent HTML style for new and [12:00] schestowitz > archive articles.

[12:01] Techrights-sec The FSF does have an RSS feed, though, so that approch would work. I'm not [12:01] Techrights-sec sure if it is the best approach but it is one possible option.
