automatically updating the NL mailing list page?
As we gain more approvals for native language mailing lists, I'm
wondering if there is any way for us -- through collecting information
elsewhere somehow? -- to automatically update the NL mailing list page:
http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/native-lang.html
so we wouldn't have as much manual record keeping.
I'm just throwing this out in case anyone has any insights...
If not, I will try to get on #asinfra soon and ask about this.

I understand conceptually, it is similar to other methods like download pages, news feeds, download stats and other information that can be periodically updated.
This fits with Ariel's email about site structure, if ${LANG}/mailinglists/ isn't there it ought to be.

Well I had a little conversation with some of the infra folks yesterday on
#asfinfra about this, and the suggestion was to do some scripting to deal
with mailing list information collection in our cms build scripts(???).
This means nothing to me as I don't know anything about how our build
scripts work. I will add this to our "Help Wanted" page and see if someone
would like to further investigate. It might be a fun project for a new
volunteer! :)

It seems like there is a small set of facts:
- language name (in English)
- language name (in native language)
- list name
- list type (user, dev or general)
- moderators
If this were encoded in XML you could use XSLT to generate the webpage,
