Hi,

I think I might have explained it badly in my first e-mail. I'm pretty 
sure my script does work. But not until someone puts the header

Kernel sections

above the table in

http://wiki.gnewsense.org/Kernel/Image

Then call the script with a parameter k instead of m or u.

I did not add the header myself because I thought it would be a bit 
silly to create an account to change just one thing. More importantly, I 
don't like insecure log-ins. I believe that no password should be sent 
over the network in the clear (unless it's a private network), even for 
not so super secret stuff like the gNewSense wiki. I don't know how hard 
it is to set up HTTPS, but without it I'm going to need a really good 
reason to set up an account.

I'm not saying you should jump through hoops to change the server 
configuration or anything. I just a guy who wants to help out. I saw an 
opportunity to do that through the mailing list, so I took it.

I don't really see the point of writing a new script, unless you're 
going to add recursion. The current script just parses the table on the 
page of the top of the section tree. If you could make it so that it 
parses the whole section tree, then you would only have to maintain the 
detailed sections (like Ubuntu-hardy-Acorn) and not the whole tree all 
the way up to Kernel/Image.

Thank you for your attention.
