sitemap generation

[Jo Walsh]

dear all, 

https://www.osgeo.org/sitemap.xml - this is what resulted from running 
http://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/docs/en/sitemap-generator.html 
over a cvs checkout of www.osgeo.org 

All the online, crawler based sitemap generators i tried threw up over
the http->https redirection, and wouldn't index https. Perhaps having
gone through this process will make OSGeo more search index friendly. 

This was more of a thought experiment connected to mloskot's ideas
about automating content migration. So there's a lot of cruft (images
etc) in that map file - it's a testrun. But there isn't *that much*
content on the www. site now. The issue is more going to be digging out 
a lot of committee-description stuff from the wiki and the subsites,
and i really want the committee chairs to do more of this ;) 

mloskot also dug out http://drupal.org/project/gsitemap which could
automate the production on the drupal side, if we go with drupal.

more later...
