Another first assignment here is planning/implementing the move
from freefall to spatter.  Basically everything in /usr/local/www
on freefall but there are a number of other issues.

* Server config file arrangements.  The lastest apache port puts
  config files in /usr/local/etc, log files in /var/log and such.
  We may not want log files there as they get very big very fast.
  Also need to arrange for rotating the logs.  (this has to be
  done by root)

* Syncing with CVS.  Since the repository is on a different
  machine, this mechanism will change.

* CGI scripts.  Some of these may have to continue living on
  freefall.  In particular cvsweb.cgi and possibly the mailing
  list archives.  URLs pointing to these need to be changed from
  www.freebsd.org to freefall.freebsd.org because eventually
  www != freefall.

* Automate update and build.  This is currently done by
  /usr/local/www/bin/webupdate.  Make any appropriate tweaks
  and then hand it off to cron.

I'll have time after Thursday to help out with all of this.

If you plan on creating bunches of new material, it should
probably go in a news subdirectory.
