I admit that I don't really like doing that. But when I looked for my working copy of WML I noticed it doesn't actually work anymore on my latest distro :{ And when looking for the latest version at http://thewml.org/ the Distrib location is broken, so I don't actually know where to get a source copy right now. So we should probably move away from WML and find some other framework to do the website it. Given that we don't yet have that other framework it might be good to just make the changes to the HTML files in the web repo directly. If you do sent a patch for that please also sent a patch explaining the current situation for the main git repo doc/www.gnu.org/README. So others know to not try to update the website using the old WML framework. And please note that the publishing rule in doc/www.gnu.org/Makefile relies on the other docs one level up to publish the guides under https://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/docs/docs.html Also, as a side note, I just noticed the webpages look bad under https, they look fine under http though. Thanks, Mark
