I'll take a look at porting the news. Don't think we need to port many =
past news.=20

My thinking was that we don't need left hand menu for the docs. For =
instance looking at Docbook produced HTML I like how clean and =
distraction free it is. Wanted to keep that across the board for docs. I =
would imagine we'll just need a Cayenne header with a backlink to the =
main site, and a copyright/privacy policy footer. Anyways, I'll refactor =
the templates to maybe have a single skeleton and optional menu include. =
Will need to play with it a bit.
