RE: Octave web pages

[Jeff Baylor]

I have experience with CSS and could lend a hand with this.  If PHP is
supported, I would also be willing to convert the current site to PHP
using a single header and footer file.  This could also be done with
JavaScript if PHP is not supported.

Thanks.

Given that the pages have remained essentially unchanged for the last
N years, they don't really *require* a lot of work, but it would be
nice if someone could help to update them with news and info
periodically.

Currently, they are generated from some templates using a home-brew
set of M4 macros.  I chose this solution so that the pages could have
a consistent appearance that could also be easily modified (this was
done before CSS).

If we move them to savannah, then we will need to convert to HTML
only -- the pages that are checked in to CVS can only be HTML.  So I
think the first thing would probably be to generate some clean
HTML+CSS from the current pages. I can help with that, but if you are
a CSS wizard, then you may be able to help me more than I can help
you.
