[Web Comm] sitemap generation

[Jason Birch]

Awesome Jo.
 
I think this would help a lot, but it also brings up the question about an OSGeo Google account.  Who signs up for it, who keeps the password, etc.

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...
