FOM for everybody ?

[Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>]

Today I looked at setting up FAQ-O-Matic for all sourceware projects,
and not just gcc.

It looks pretty easy to do.

I thought before doing it I would run the plan by the Gods of
Sourceware, since this is (potentially) my first non-trivial
sourceware hack.

According to the fom FAQ:

  http://www.dartmouth.edu/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/jonh/faq.pl?file=409

the best way to do this is to make one copy of `fom.cgi' per project.
So I propose making one subdir per project in cgi-bin (eg
/sourceware/www/cgi-bin/automake, /sourceware/www/cgi-bin/java, etc),
and copying fom.cgi there.  (gcc we would leave as-is, of course.)

Instead of keeping the fom meta-data in the cgi directory (which seems
ugly to me), I'd rather make a new `fom-meta' directory in
/sourceware/www, with per-project subdirs there.  (Or I could do
something else, in tune with the "sourceware philosophy", whatever
that might be.)

Projects will use a URL like `/cgi-bin/automake/fom'


Actually, I know there is more to do than that (at least set up and/or
tweak the cron job referred to in the instructions), but I don't have
permissions to look in gcc/cgi-bin/fom-meta :-(


Did we send a postcard to the FOM guy?
