How about allowing sub-projects to have their own news.xml file (or whatever you want to call it), and have the build script automatically merge the news sorted by date? That's what I did for take23.org (though it's real-time, not offline built) and it seems to work really well, albeit the sub-projects are "articles" and "headlines" etc. -- <!-- Matt --> <:->Get a smart net</:-> --------------------------------------------------------------------- In case of troubles, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
