Ah. Interesting. Some templating is in use (ex.
`<!--stp:include('newsitems.src') -->`), and files are mostly written
in straight html. I see that the newsitems file is in Python with html
inside triple-quoted strings. Hm.
It would seem to me that the site would be sight easier to manage if
it were just a wiki. I bet this would solve the manpower issue.
Is live.gnome.org a wiki? Because [the PyGTK page
there](http://live.gnome.org/PyGTK) seems like a nice and
easy-to-update homepage for PyGTK... Hm. Is there any content on the
pygtk homepage that isn't on this live.gnome page? Is there any real
reason for keeping the old website around when you've got
<http://live.gnome.org/PyGTK>?

Thanks. Ouch. I see that the tutorial is in docbook. Ooof. :( Why not
just transfer it to the wiki? Would make it **way** easier to keep up
to date.
