netbsd website : xml, xslt and make?

[Mayuresh Kathe]

hello,

i apologise upfront if this is the wrong list for the question,
and would appreciate being pointed to the right one.

i just read on the netbsd projects list page that the website
infrastructure maintenance depends on a xml, xslt and make.

does that mean that the website is written primarily in xml
and then transformed into (x)html, either via some tools before
the pages are put on the website, or at runtime?

isn't that kind of very heavy and complicated?

best,

~mayuresh

A better list would probably be netbsd-docs if you really want
to start a discussion.

Yes.

Depends who you ask. Also depends on the goals. For the most
part though, editing a webpage is a simple matter of editing the
.xml file (for which there are plenty of examples), commit it, type
"make", and commit the .html file. The package meta-pkgs/netbsd-www
will install everything that is needed.
