    That's self explanatory.  I'll only remove the sidebar stuff, as it's
    obsolete now.  

Thank you for doing this.  Now that the repository is self contained, it
is easy to spot couple of issues:

1. When generating a pot-file, po4a-gettextize always updates the
   "POT-Creation-Date" field, even all other strings are identical.  For
   example:

--- gnu/po/rms-lisp.pot (revision 306)
+++ gnu/po/rms-lisp.pot (working copy)

 "Last-Translator: FULL NAME <address@hidden>\n"
 "Language-Team: LANGUAGE <address@hidden>\n"

   I suppose we wouldn't want to commit such "changes" in www.  Thus we
   have to find a way to avoid commiting them, or avoid running
   po4a-gettextize on those cases.

2. Now Po4a's Xhtml module generates the same results for the templates
   (www/server directory) as the Html module currently in use.  For all
   other file we're already using the Xhtml module.  I suggest to switch
   entirely to Xhtml module.  This could be done with the following
   change:

  Should I install it?
