What about non-DB articles?

Question for everyone, what are we going do regarding non-DB articles.
Things like

LDP
OSS Web Pages on line (Apache SAMBA, etc)
man pages (we can use man2html for this)
/usr/doc (we can use text2html for this)

One thing that I definately want to do for the LDP is clean it up.
Basically do a search at linuxkb.cheek.com or LinuxCare on something you
know to be in the LDP.  "DNS" is good.  You'll get over 10 hits for the
DNS-HOWTO because you have an index page, and a bunch of sub-page- each
one generates a hit.  Pain in the arse for the user.  What we need to do
is put all the pages in one page, so they only get one hit for the DNS
HOWTO.

Another thing I desperately want to do is us host all the data ourselves.
This means mirroring the LDP and other resources locally.  Three
reasons for this:

1) Not reliant on some other site to be up
2) Faster indexing for htdig
3) We have better control of content.

Ideally we'd sync once a week to a holding area and have it report on the
pages that have changed/new.  That way we can go over whats changed and
weed out broken links etc before migrating it to production.

Thoughts?
