        Edit the xml/src/news.xml to announce the release in the news 
section of the first page , link the release announcement from the 
mailing list in this page . Generate the html using the dghtml tool
from xml2html/ of the website source cvs.

You will need to have libxml2 installed to run the dghtml versions. People
who have trouble running it can get a prebuilt dghtml (for i386-gnu-linux)
from my website -- http://symonds.net/~gopalv82/code/xml2html.tgz 

Dotgnu website is totally XHTML , non-XML tags , or unclosed "<BR>" might 
freak out the dghtml program.

BASH$ ilrun dghtml.exe -i ${DGW_SRC}/index.xml -o ${DGW_DST}/index.html -t 
${DGW_SRC}/template_html4.xml -p ./${DGW_SRC}/

BASH$ ilrun dghtml.exe -i ${DGW_SRC}/index.xml -o ${DGW_DST}/html2.0/index.html 
-t ${DGW_SRC}/template_html2.xml -p ./${DGW_SRC}/

Where DGW_SRC is the xml/src/ dir of the dotgnu HTML cvs and DGW_DST is
the root of the website cvs.

Update the index.rdf using a similarly worded news as in news.xml .

Edit the downloads.xml and update the source links and point them to 
ftp.gnu.org and mention "if missing then use Southern Storm website." .
Regenerate the downloads.html and html2.0/downloads.html using the 
dghtml program.

Commit xml & html files which have changed 

BASH$ cvs commit xml/src/news.xml xml/src/downloads.xml downloads.html 
index.html html2.0/index.html html2.0/downloads.html 

Check http://gnu.org/projects/dotgnu/ to confirm that the update has 
occurred and check links .

Hope that's enough for your average hamster powered calculator :-)
