What's wrong with Ant ?

If we are going to change the site generation, I suggest we start with a data file containing all the retired project details and use that to generate the pages. That will make it easier to update the individual pages as well as the include file. Also the data file may be useful for other purposes, so JSON might be a good format. > rgds > Jan I.
