can make it so that our <a href="/server/whatsnew.html">What's New</a>
page can list new events when they are added. One simple way to do
this is to have it simply email webmasters every time a new event is

- <LI>Turn the <a href="/copyleft/gpl-faq.html">GPL FAQ</a> from an HTML

Check all the web pages for well formedness, consistency with
- our HTML style sheet, and webmaster guidelines. Unfortunately,
- there are an uncounted number of intermixing of standards: HTML
- 2.0 documents containing 3.2 formatting, HTML 4.01 or ISO HTML
- documents containing XHTML formatting, and XHTML documents
- containing HTML formatting. All web pages need to be valid to
- their specific DTD, (the <A href="http://validator.w3.org";>W3C
- Validator</a> is a good place to start). Please do not upgrade
- ‘valid’ pages, even if they are HTML 2.0: use your
- time an energies to ensure the right standard is applied to
- pages to ensure they are both valid, and the most easily
- accessible to the public.
