Karl Berry then followed up by saying he'd added a comment to the boilerplate itself, showing where to find the original: <!-- This is the template document for GNU web pages. We use --> <!-- server side includes (#include) for common elements, for --> <!-- instance, the very first line of the file. If you're reading --> <!-- this in its expanded form, you can retrieve the original source, --> <!-- with the SSI statements intact, from --> <!-- http://web.cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/www/server/standards/boilerplate.html?root=www&view=log - --> He also said he'd update the maintain.texi file at some point, but I don't see anything at http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/maintain.html, which was last updated on October 10 (I've Cc'd Karl). I'd also like to see it at http://www.gnu.org/server/fsf-html-style-sheet.html, which references boilerplate.html several times, but doesn't mention how to get the SSIs-unexpanded version. - -- Micah J.
