Karl,

I maintain the sourceware and fsf websites for glibc.

I am in the process of documenting exactly how to maintain the website.

Recently there was a question about the manual and how the online copy 
was updated. I'm following up on that question to try determine who and 
how the update process happens.

If you are not interested in updating the online copy of the manual, 
then we can pass the torch to the website maintainer (whoever that is at 
any given point in time).

Would it be possible to have you document on the glibc wiki, in broad 
strokes, the process you follow to update the manuals?

"Website Maintenance"

Cheers,
Carlos.
