Yes / No.
While I have no clue (yet) as to setting that up, the end result would 
have all the TOCS in, all the [edit] links and other misc links that 
would not apply. Images would also be messed up. There was a large 
amount of editing I had to do to ensure that presentation was not as 
ugly as it would have been. My guess is that people want the slightly 
more attractive look.

It's not actually the task - I've done that enough to get going from 
here. What we need is people. It's very easy to look at what we have now 
  and divide that by alphabet. Person 1 does A-D, person 2 does E-I etc 
(though T is a whole section on it's own). Then each person only has a 
few pages to watch and update.
The code which /would/ be nice is the downloading code - if that could 
query the file / date and that was used to help people decide what had 
been updated. I would give my ftp details for the ISP space to any 
trusted helpers, and then the page in my guides would update itself. I 
think that's wishlist stuff though :)
Because of Codex going into that state of suspended animation, a backlog 
of work built up, but a glance at the Recent Changes does not show the 
real picture of changes - it's less than that.

Matt did mention SVN at one point, but Tortoise is something that 
whenever I open it to look at, something far more appealing is need to 
be done right then :)
