 Sorry for my laziness...  I think your work does not conflict with the
 idea, and updating the list is really great regardless of which tree
 is used.

 What I wanted to know is if you intend to restructure the list by
 removing ones in the articles and maintaining a copy in the www tree
 on a long term basis (from your post I thought you wanted to do so).
 I am (still) planning to work on restructuring the list by using a
 directory, so I just think I will need more discussion if the plan
 conflicts with your idea.  If your proposed patch is committed now,
 probably I will move the data part to a database in other than the
 www tree when my patch is ready---but I do not want to make you
 offended when I commit such a change.

 So, well, please go ahead if you do not mind it since updating the
 list is really important.  But if you have another plan such as
 maintaining the list in an HTML page only, please elaborate the plan
 in more detail.  Just I want to make sure.
