That site has nothing to do with the documentation project, though it may
well be orphaned.

Valid points, and it would be nice to have someone do this.
My main point, though, is that it's more important to write the
documentation. We've been futzing with web sites, DTDs, coordination,
planning, ad inifinitum. There still isn't a usable tutorial. Thus I'm
putting the tutorial on its own site and its own CVS, and moving forward
as best I can. If someone wants to maintain the big DDP web site that's
great, but it's not necessary for getting something done.
Please, rather than wait for someone unspecified to do something big and
diffuse, let's have each one of us do something small, specific, and
attainable. My .02.
