So last time there were a couple of issues:

- There were two places the gdb webpages were kept.
  This has been resolved by Joel now https://www.gnu.org/software/gdb
  redirects to https://sourceware.org/gdb

- Part of the online docs are generated by a script
  /home/gdbadmin/ss/update-web-docs
  https://www.sourceware.org/gdb/onlinedocs/
  It isn't clear if this can simply be adapted to also generate the
  sim documentation. I don't see a
  doc subdir under sim though, so I am not sure how the sim
  documentation is generated.

- The other website files are still in CVS. It would be nice if they
  could be moved into git. (If we do we have to adjust the above script
  and cronjobs slightly).

- The gdb-htdocs repo can only be updated by people in the gdb group
  (which is a subset of the src group which allows pushing to the
   binutils-gdb repo). Mike isn't a member of the gdb group, so cannot
  push to the gdb-htdocs to create a sim subdir there. And it seems the
  current setup, how and who is in the gdb group and can update the
  website pages, isn't fully documented.

Cheers,

Mark
