If PHP is supported, I would also be willing to convert the current site to PHP using a single header and footer file. This could also be done with JavaScript if PHP is not supported.

Thanks. Given that the pages have remained essentially unchanged for the last N years, they don't really *require* a lot of work, but it would be nice if someone could help to update them with news and info periodically. Currently, they are generated from some templates using a home-brew set of M4 macros. I chose this solution so that the pages could have a consistent appearance that could also be easily modified (this was done before CSS). If we move them to savannah, then we will need to convert to HTML only -- the pages that are checked in to CVS can only be HTML. So I think the first thing would probably be to generate some clean HTML+CSS from the current pages. I can help with that, but if you are a CSS wizard, then you may be able to help me more than I can help you. jwe
