I had them in a cron and voluntarily disabled it.  I'm amenable to
re-enabling it.  The problem is that as examples become available in
svn, they automatically get pushed out to the gallery, but these may
not run on the latest released version.  I thought perhaps the site
should more closely track the latest released version, so the last few
times I've pushed the docs out, I did so from the branch.  So if you
want to see doc changes get pushed out sooner, you should patch the
branch and merge to the trunk.  I am in general a big fan of
encouraging people to use the svn snapshots as much as possible, and
updating the gallery and site docs nightly helps this because the new
features in the gallery entice them, but in the absence of nightly
builds and snapshots I don't think this is too helpful.
