Ah, so you're not using any kind of general templating or site  
building software?  Just manually writing .html files?  Don't we need  
something to ensure consistent layout, links, etc?

Maybe not though.  Ideally, most of the www content really could live  
on the wiki.  We'd lose the mirrors, but I'm not really sure how much  
value there is in them anyway.  Radical thought: with a front page we  
can better design, and pages we can lock down from editing, can www be  
completely wiki?
