Coming back to this: Seems that there is consensus to remove the month |
30 |
subdirectories. So I have moved everything up by one directory level, |
31 |
news items now live in: |
32 |
|
33 |
YYYY/YYYY-MM-DD-itemname/ |
34 |
|
35 |
The rsync-gen.sh script has been updated by Zac who will also take |
36 |
care of GLEP 42. |
